I've been browsing newegg wish lists to help me decide on parts for my hackintosh and I've been noticing a lot of people have been choosing G.SKILL for ram. Is there higher compatibility or anything with it, besides the low price?

 

I was going to go with corsair ram, but for half the price I might as well get the g.skill.

I mean $89.99 for 4GB (2x2GB) that’s a steal in my opinion (unless it craps out or something). I could get 16gb instead of 8gb for the same price I was planning on.

*EDIT* Looks like they just released a $40 mail in rebate bringing it to the same price as the G.SKILL :)

Any recommendations?

If you're going w/ gskil go for this

it has 4/4/3/5 timing and can go past 1066 4/4/4/12 easily.... I mean how many 4/4/3/5 modules are there? I can get my sticks to 1166 at 4/4/5/12 @ 2.2V

G.Skill RAM is pretty well respected in the overclocking world. I haven't really kept up with what chips they're using these days, but you can be rest assured they'll probably be at least as good as those the much more expensive manufacturers like Corsair, OCZ, etc are using...
