Best OverClockable Memory

Building a system using the following:

DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI-DR
and an AMD 3000+/3200+ Venice

Which memory will let me push this system the furthest? There's so many different types out there and i was hoping to narrow it down to a specific model?

Also, I see there's DDR433/466/500 memory sticks out there. Will I beneift from using this sort of memory even though the DFI usues up to DDR400?

Thanks in Advance!

Yes that g.skill does "pwn" but a64 systems respond better to tighter timings and lower latency than to higher bandwidth. From my personal experience. But if you have the cash, the g.skill would be nice to play with. I would get the twinmos sp, its cheap and it will run 250-260 fsb @ 2-2-2 timings with enough volts, and a fan blowing over them.

You might consider getting some generic PC3200 and using a divider...

Lots of info here...

Looks like value ram is the way to go! Any particular value ram i should be looking for? Is there any ram that stands out more than others, should i be looking for ram with BH-5 chips or is that irrelevant as well with A64's?
 
You want TCCD or UTT.

Gskill or the OCZ VX.

Gskill wont need crazy volts, they sometimes actually run better with lower voltages (2.6) never go over 2.9 with these.


They should do 275-300 fsb 2.5-4-4

The OCZ will need 3.4V and will do 240-260 fsb 2-2-2-5.
 
im at 296 fsb stable with a 133 divider. With my Geil Golden Dragon. Exactly how far are you trying to push it? You should be able to get where I am or better with any PC3200.
