Here (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=20-150-054). Although compared to all of the Crucial deals, I don't know if $160 for 2x1GB is still very attractive.

That's pretty much what the going price on eBay has been for these sticks.

They'll have to sell the PC2 8000 sticks at $150 to compete with Crucial right now.

Agreed. The Firestix are great, but not for the price when you can get Crucial D9 ram at an all-time low.price. And the G.skill HZs are only around $122 shipped at Newegg w/ coupon code.

Tempted to buy them to go with my 2gb (2x1gb) sticks right now so I have 4gb.

Do you do anything that will allow you to make use of 4GB yet? Might be wiser to wait and snag 4 gigs from a hot deal when it pops up. This is normal price for this RAM at the moment.

Does anyone have a link to the other deals? Are they much better than the performance on the firestix?

Well there's the Geil kit for $124 or so, confirmed D9. And then there are two very good G.skill kits, one with 4-4-3-5 timings and then the HZs that are also D9. There's also a Crucial Ballistix DDR2-1066 kit at Newegg for $144 AR. You should be able to find these on either the first or second page of the Hot deals section.
