See your dilemma. I'd personally go for 8500, it gives more ocing options and is decent value for money.
Another alternative , why not get another set of the Crucial Ballistix Lanfest 2K7 2x1GB DDR2 800 ??, use them while the rma is on then when you have the new set go 4x1gb
If you purchased direct from crucial they do a exchange which means the new set arrives & you only return your old set when it arrives. They bill you for the replacement set , then credit you when the get the return.
luck

thanks for the feedback s'shanks!
that's what i wanted to do, but these were one of those special edition deals so they don't offer them anymore. i tried doing this after i built my rig, i realized 4GB would have been better. but by then it was already too late and they were discontinued.
i also wanted to do 2 4GB kits...and was looking at the better deal, 4x1GB 6400 or 2x2GB 8500. see the thing is i'm not paying for them. i built a pc for my friend, and the trade off was $100. but i told him instead of paying me to get me a copy of vista 64 ultimate $179. then the unforeseen occurred yesterday and i decided, for a l'il less, i'll get the
ram and wait on vista 64 for another time. i just wasn't sure if i should stick with 6400 or go 8500 which was my original plan when i spec'd out my system.
the one thing that peaked my interest about the G.Skill was the m/b chipset support.
M/B Chipset
intel X38
intel P35
intel 965
intel 975
