The $200-300 tax....... wtf are u on?
I just ordered RAM from www.priceguidenetwork.com in america and it turned out to be $80 cheaper then anything in Australia even after shipping.
4GB Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2-1066 (PC2-8500) (4x1GB)
It was $280 AU all up.
Quads are better then dual cores if your going to overclock it. Read the reviews an E6850 Overclocked to 3.8Ghz gets beaten by a Q6600 overclocked to 3.4Ghz in games... etc.. everything.
Q6600 is the best bang for buck at the moment.
