For those of you unaware, TeamXtreem makes some 1GB modules that run close to DDR600 3-3-3, which nothing else (aside from the exploding ballistix) can do. They also have UCCC gig sticks, BH-UTT gig kits, and basically anything an overclocker would want, and their sticks seem to rival G.Skill in price and performance.
If you browse the XS forums you can see some very nice results with this RAM.
Also, Tankguys is awesome. The owner posts at a couple of forums I visit frequently. It's still rather small, but incredible customer service, good prices and they tell you what chips the RAM uses. For example, if you look at the link it specifically says whether they are TCCD, Micron, UCCC, BH-UTT etc. Also, they tell you the steppings of the CPU in the description as you can see here: http://www.tankguys.biz/opteron-cache-p-1420.html
Picking a good stepping will increase your chances of getting a better overclock. TankGuys is the only place I know of that allows you to handpick the stepping you want. With Newegg and stuff it's luck of the draw. I would even go as far as saying TankGuys is better then Newegg. Newegg just has a much larger selection of parts and a better site layout. Here is their reseller ratings page: http://www.resellerratings.com/seller10197.html
So, basically, I highly recommend Tankguys to anybody and I recommend looking at some Team Xtreem RAM.

We'd like to offer more if you guys would be interested, but we've got to strike a balance here, because one of the only ways we can stay even remotely competetive is to maintain minimum physical inventory, so that we aren't sitting on thousands of dollars of product that won't move quickly.
It makes sense and it is nice that he asks other people what they would like to be available. He tries tofocus on stuff that he knows a lot of people will buy.

Yeah, I guess that's how eveyone is when they start off. You can't start with everything on earth. But, even so, there is such a small inventory. only 3 nvidia AGP cards, and 6 nvidia AGP and PCI-E.
