Cheap 2GB PC3200 DDR RAM Suggestions?

[Johnny Nuge]

Anybody have suggestions for good cheap 2GB DDR RAM? I've just migrated to Vista Ultimate and that OS is a RAM hog. I've got an Opteron 165 OC'd to 2.6 and my OC'd OCZ Value VX 1GB PC3200 Dual Channel RAM at 2-2-2-6 timings on a 5/6 divider. Fast 2GB dual channel DDR kits are expensive and hard to find, unlike what's going on now with DDR2 RAM. I know memory speeds aren't as important on A64 because of dividers, so what 2GB Dual Channel DDR RAM will do? I saw some 2GB Samsung DDR RAM on ebay for like $100. Would those allow me to maintain my OC and tide me over til I'm ready to fully upgrade?

I'd like another 2GB of PC3200, too. (preferably Infineon ICs)

These PQI Turbo's have Infineon IC's, awesome timings @ 200 Mhz, and mine will do ~225 @ 2.5-3-2-5, and 237 (or 238) @ 2.5-3-3-7.

That is just what I wanted. Thanks, myocardia. 🙂

To OP: If my memory still serves me well, the VX line from OCZ is supposed to be made of BH/CH-5 ICs that are the total opposites of Samsung DDR ICs. (Be it TCCD or UCCD) They should work together under the standard (JEDEC specs), but not the best match for overclocking.
