Thanks in advance guys

As long as your board supports PC28500 you're good with either one. I'd get the OCZ just because of the rebate though.

Too bad i live in Australia

Yeah im pretty sure they both work on my board.

Look at the specifications on the board to see if it takes 1066 memory. What model is it?

Asus P5Q Pro, im not sure if they work by checking them again. I may have mischecked by 800mhz and 1066mhz.

Dual-channel DDR2 1200/1066/800/667 MHz

Now it will simply depend on which speed of memory you want to go with since that model supports memory one speed higher and two speeds slower as well as the memory you were looking at there. The only 4gb kit of DDR2-1200 memory found at newegg to look over is seen at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231201

Wherever you order from will also tend to see higher prices for the faster 1200 speed.
