The memory I bought (all 4 slots) is:
Patriot Extreme Performance 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800
(PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220227

When I bought mine at Christmas, it was cheaper then it is now. Not a
bad price for 4GB. Just wish I didn't have the headaches I had getting
it to work. Though I can't really blame the memory since it was the MB
having the problems...

Anyway, just thought I would share with you guys which memory ended up
working for me.

Thanks for the posts!
