I don't have a vast amount of experience with Kingston HyperX (I own a 2GB kit of PC3200) but I'm really happy with the RAM. My HyperX OCs higher than the Corsair XMS that it replaced with the same timings. Of course any company can hit the ball out of the park once, it's those who do it consistantly that become legendary.
That said Corsair is what I typically buy for myself and the my customers (which are few and far between these days.)

BTW, it can safely be ran at up to 2.2v, but I agree with Linderman, you are better off with 2 sticks of 2GB

DESCRIPTION:
This document describes Kingston's 64M x 64-bit (512MB) DDR2-1066 CL5 SDRAM (Synchronous
DRAM) memory module, based on eight 64M x 8-bit DDR2 FBGA components. This module
has been tested to run at DDR2 1066MHz at a latency timing of 5-5-5-15 at 2.2V. The SPD is
programmed to JEDEC standard latency 800Mhz timing of 5-5-5-15 at 1.8V. This 240-pin DIMM
uses gold contact fingers and requires +1.8V. The electrical and mechanical specifications are as
follows:
