I'm debating on selling my NIB P5Q3 I also have a P5K3 that I might sell too - if this doesn't interest you, I'd recommend 1600 DDR3

pm me if your interested

I bought SuperTalent - Made in the USA (2x2GB) DDR3 1600

What processor are you using, what are you doing with the computer, and how long do you intend to keep the machine? It's very possible you'd be just as well served with DDR2, which is less expensive and would let you step the motherboard down a notch.

if money is enough of an issue for it to be "good enough", then you should go with DDR2 ram.
a top end 2x2GB DDR2-1066 module costs a mere 70$ today. and is only a few percent slower the the DDR3 ram that costs several times the amount. You are better off upgrading your CPU and GPU before upgrading your ram SPEED. (now ram amount, that is a different thing, upgrading the amount of ram is good)
