Alternative to OCZ PC2-8500 Reaper

[ScambyUK]

Hey,
I'm planning to purchase some components today for Saturday delivery tomorrow and I've been waiting for this RAM to come back into stock:

http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Memory/DDR2/DDR2+1000+(PC8000)/OCZ+4GB+PC2-8500+Reaper+HPC+(2x2GB)+?productId=30582

This was recommended by a few people, and will be paired with a Q9450 on a MSI P35 Neo2-FR

Given that it's still out of stock, and CS can't tell me if the delivery has arrived, can anyone suggest an alternative that is in stock?

I'd really like to get all the parts ordered tomorrow for Saturday delivery so I can get my system built :)


Thanks for any suggestions!

i have these, same ic as the reapers just not as good cooling, i have them in mine and i am happy with them.

these are about as good as ddr2 gets tho, can be both water and air cooled too, but only 1gb sticks.

I'm waiting for the OCZ 4gb PC2-8500 Platinum, but apparently the PC2-8000 version as recommended above are really good and worth considering!

the 8000 i have will do 1066 on stock timings with 2.1v but they wont go much higher unless you slacken the timings.

I have the same ram as you, and found exactly the same thing.. Still a good buy tho :D
