Are these Memory no good?

I've been reading the forums and no one seem to like these. I wanted to purchase this for my system but now am unsure. Can someone please tell me why they are not a good choice?

The system I am trying to build is this:

SN26P
AMD X2 4800+ or 4400+
2 x 7800 GTX
2 x 1GB OCZ Platinum 2-3-2-5
2 x 74GB Raptors Raid 0
1 x 400GB SATA Western Digital HD

I got most the parts except the CPU and the Ram.
Thanks in advance.

its got 5 stars ("eggs") on newegg...those are good timings (the only numbers that matter are the first three, the fourth, the "recharge" means nothing.) I run some corsair 2-3-3-6 that is 98 USD with rebates right now, and I have no problems. OCZ is a good name. Lifetime warranty. I'd say you'd be hard pressed to go wrong.

They are good timing but I read that OCing is no good at all. I just want to make sure that it can OC decent enough to run my system at its potential.

Don't overlook these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231032

Mine are doing DDR520 @ 3-3-2-5-1T @ 2.75v. Of course YMMV, but alot of people are having good luck with these....

Do you think they will OC better and more stable than the OCZ Plat.?

 

[Mucker]

I honestly can't say, I've never worked with the OCZ. The GSkills are super stable for me...

My 2x512 OCZ EL Rev 2 does 250mhz +

I normally run 235 @ 2/3/38/ 1T

I just got 2x1GB G.skill's..

Messing with them now.. Had a hell of a time getting them to boot, but now that I am in, I will get some fine tuning in!

The OCZ platinum rev2's 2-2-2-5, memory overclocks like mad up to 300mhz
The OCZ platinum 2-3-2-5, don't overclock well, only to about 220mhz

But on the A64 platform memory speed really matters very little except in synthetic benchmarks. The regular platinum is a fine choice performance wize IMO.
