A8N-E + RAM

I'm getting the AMD bundle from the tech tour and I'm wondering what RAM I should get. I'm looking at the value RAM segments as I don't see value in extra low latency RAM. If I only listed a single 512MB stick below, I would get two of them for a gig total.

I'm currently debating between:
$129.95 - GeiL Dual Channel 1Gb PC3200 with Blue Heat Spreader (2x 512MB DDR400 , CL=2.5, 8-4-4)
$119.90 - Patriot Signature Line 512MB PC-3200 DDR400 CAS2.5
$115.90 - Kingston PC3200 (DDR400) 512MB DDR RAM (KVR400X64C3A/512)
$116.98 - CORSAIR VALUE SELECT DUAL CHANNEL 1024MB KIT PC3200 DDR CAS2.5 2X512MB
$146.98 - MUSHKIN BLUE HP PC3200 1GB DDR 2X512MB 184PIN CL2-3-3 DIMM MEMORY KIT /W WIN BOND UTT CHIPS
$128.53 - OCZ DUAL CHANNEL PREMIER 2X512MB DDR PC3200 CAS2.5 3-3-7 W/ COPPER HEAT SPREADER

Keep in mind, these selections and prices are from Canada.

I'm debating heavily between the GeiL, OCZ or splurging a little more for the Mushkin. I plan on doing some light overclocking, but simply want to keep my budget down. Any advice?

Also, what is the maximum voltage you can push through to RAM on the A8N-E?
 
I'm looking to buy this same mobo but I want some good low latency RAM. I probably won't overclock anything. What's good better-than-value RAM?
 
hmmm, i myself am also debating on the ram for my A8N-E that i'm gonna build soon...

i'm deciding on either the ocz or the mushkin, and for light overclocking, i think the ocz SHOULD be enough (correct me if i'm worng)
 
Corsair for the best value; Mushkin for the best performance.

That's a great deal on the Corsair today too 🙂
I remember when i bought that Corsair kit for $230 🙁 Now it's half that...
