I am in the process of determing components for a new computer using an ASUS P5B Plus motherboard. I do not plan on overclocking. Is the RAM shown below (cost $74) good quality ? If not, please give me some other recommendations.

CRUCIAL 2GB KIT (1GB x 2) MATCH PAIR PC2-5300 667MHZ CL5 240-PIN DDR2 DIMM

Thanks!

Looks good but here's some that's often recommended for $4 less.

Thanks Red for the quick reply. Also found the following which is also cheaper. Forgetting price, which is the best?

CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 675 (PC2 5400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-5400c4 - Retail

The XMS is more of a perfomance series ram so if you can buy that for the same price or lower than the Value Ram, go for it. You won't "see" any difference but you can save a couple bucks and it looks prettier!
