    This weekend I'm hoping to upgrade to Vista Home Premium x64 and 4GB of ram. I've been reading a lot of the reviews on newegg about people buying certain brands of memory and getting system failures and what not. I am looking at getting the kingston pc5300 DDR2 667Mhz 2x2GB. Has anyone had any problems with this ram and if you have any suggestions to other good brands I should take a look at please advise.
