I know this question is asked a lot so please bear with me:

I have a 3200+ venice/neo2 and am planning to do some ocing on it. Unfortunately the venice is week 19 which by my research, isn't a very good week. I was planning to get some RAM that performs better than my corsair valueselect (3-3-3-8 :[)..but since my week is so bad, is it even worth it? I quickly found some OCZ products and am going to ask for some opinions. Any responses are appreciated..thanks a lot.

Faster RAM will only buy you another 50MHz or so of CPU core speed. Just use a 5:6 memory divider with the Corsair VS. The bottleneck will be your CPU. Most 3200s will top out around 2.5GHz. Standard setting for Corsair VS is 2.5-3-3-8-1T. This RAM should be able to handle 265MHz FSB speed with 5:6 memory divider.
