Corsair Dominator TWIN2X2048-8500C5D (that's DDR2 - 1066 , 2x 1GB, SLI ready) kit is up for grabs for effectively $49 here

That's $89 + Free 3 day shipping. The included Mail-in-Rebate of $40 brings it down to $49. So under 50 bucks you're getting a kit that is touted to be a good over-clocker, comes from a reputed manufacturer.
