Ankh, if you want 8GB, I'd personally get 2 of the 4GB kits. They're substantially cheaper. I also don't recommend Corsair - they've gotten
pricy lately, and I'm not sure why.
Look at these:

I personally recommend the G.Skill options. They're a really good new brand, and that first one is good timing and it's on sale. Only thing better than
7-7-7-24 is 7-7-7-20. I've got 2 sets of that second one, the 8-8-8-24, and I'm happy with them.
Finally, remember that if given a choice between getting *faster* RAM and *more* RAM, always take the later. The difference betwen 8-8-8-24 and 7-7-7-24 in
actual benchmarks/usage is fractions of a percent.
