The question is how much you can buy them for. The G.Skill set is better, but not if it is much more expensive than Corsair's.

 Also at DDR3 1066/1333 its not really worth it, since DDR2 can still easily beat it at half the price, but if your looking to take the plunge into DDR3 and can stand the performance loss and extra costs DDR3 incurs then by all means go for it... I would have suggested a DDR2 1066 5-5-5-15 kit, or 1200 5-5-5-15, or if you had cash something like DDR2 1000 4-4-4-12. But enjoy your purchase if you apply to the above statement
