I was just wondering as I am also considering the mushkin redlines to upgrade from my corsair value select.

the Mushkins are rated at 500Mhz where the corsair are rated at 437Mhz but the Corsair have better timings at stock and AMD boards love tight timings and even when lowering the fsb to 200 the redlines dont like cas 2 so i would opt for the corsair myself even though i have the redlines hope this helps
