You could boost your ram by simply going with a pair of 1gb dimms. Kingston Value Ram has done an excellent job on two boards here so far.

G.Skill not GEIL as some may make that mistake is supposed to have faster speeds seen there with a 2-2-2-5 type Latency seen. I prefer to go to the board's manufactuer's site to see the brands recommended for their brand to avoid seeing problems if one brand or type isn't supported by the board. Some memory seems to work best on some boards while not on others.

OCZ has excellent gamers RAM. I'm using it myself.

Kingston is not gamers memory. It is actually a bit of a dog when it comes to performance. I wouldn't use it personally, although I do put it in machines that are for office use and stuff.
