Kingston.com comes to mind, they have what you need. I went with another
brand in 1G, and got PC2 5400 (instead of 5300) which has slightly
faster timings. My ASUS board has the ability to set memory speed
separately from CPU overclocking, so you can (in theory) take advantage
of the speed of the memory at any CPU speed.
Note: the memory you want is listed as desktop memory, not server memory.
