It doesn't matter that much, but it would help if you know what metal is used for the pins. Try to match them to that used in the sockets in the motherboard. Corrosion is increased with mixed metals, and you may not have any problems for up to a year later, when suddenly your system takes a dive.

Well if you want to try overclocking stick with micron or kingston memory.

CBR600?
Don't lie to us. The only reason I can get it that cheap is because I get a kickass discount at BestBuy.
