I'm looking for 2GB of 800MHz DDR2 Ram. I found a 2GB Ram Kit from Mushkin with 800MHz, CAS 5, and 1.8 to 2.0 volts. I'll be using this ram on a P5K-SE with an overclocked Celeron E1200 with 400MHz FSB (not quad pumped). Is this a good ram kit for my purposes?

They have a decent amount of them left, so I should have enough time to buy them, I was mostly wondering about the quality of the Mushkin brand, if it will work fine, I don't have a problem paying a bit more for higher performance series from Mushkin since they are a decent amount less expensive than other brands. At this time the ram I mentioned sells for almost $10 less than Kingston Value Ram, so just wanted to make sure that Mushkin is a good brand.

Mushkin RAM is the same quality as Corsair or Crucial RAM. They were one of the premier overclocking RAM makers in the mid to late 90's and early 2000's and then branched out to cover the whole memory spectrum with value/budget RAM to top of the line overclocking RAM. Their memory is way better than Kingston RAM.

If you're going to be overclocking don't use value/budget RAM, use the good stuff.

I used Mushkin RAM in an older build (478 3.2G P4-Intel 865 MOBO..about 4 yrs. old) and it's still going strong.
