Is there something bad about this GSkill RAM @newegg?

Hi guys,
I was thinking about recommending this RAM on newegg for a friends A64 build but I was wondering why it's so cheap. I thought GSkill was pretty good stuff and 2 512MB PC3200 sticks for $100 seems almost too good to be true for decent stuff. What do you guys think?

Nope...I have heard they are great for the cost....I wasted a lot more for mine and that guy is doing just a hir worse...If should have bought those then 2gb of them and oc's them back up to 400ddr speeds and it would have been great for me..

I actually came across that today browsing newegg. Looks like a deal to me.

I've been eyeing that RAM for awhile too and I think it's a steal. CL2 PC3200 for only a tiny bit more than what Corsair/Mushkin valueram is going for these days, and with decent overclocking headroom.

According to the product page on G.Skill's site, it's 2-3-3-6 at DDR400 2.65v and it should do DDR480 at 2.5-4-4-8 timings on A64 platforms. Might not be too much of a stretch to get it to do DDR500 at CL2.5 with some additional voltage.
