Memory Timings help

[sao123]

I love kinston memory, always have used it...

I am considering an overclocking experiment of raising the FSB to 233...but i'm just not sure though.
I was thinking of getting HyperX memory 2x kit 512 MB, PC 3700 (466Mhz) 3-4-4-8-1 timings. ($275)
(which I think is a steal, since a single 512 MB PC 3700 (466Mhz) 3-4-4-8-1 is going for ($165)

What I want to know is...

If i end up not overclocking, will this memory be able to handle the same timings as
Kingston HyperX 2x kit 515 MB, PC 3200 (400 Mhz) 2-3-2-6-1 ($280) or
Kingston HyperX 2x kit 515 MB, PC 3200 (400 Mhz) 2-2-2-6-1 ($340)

Which of the 3 do you think I should get? Which would be most beneficial?
(all my prices come from zipzoomfly.)

If you must have Kingston, then your best bet is the KHX3200AK2/1G kit of 1GB. It's £200 in most places (dunno how many $s that is) and it;s got some pretty quick timings.

If not, then Corsair 3200XLPro or OCZ Enhanced Bandwidth also result in a quick memory system. They're more expensive than the Kingston though.

They should all overclock pretty nicely, you may have to drop some timings and/or change volages, but they should work fine.

I believe that most performance RAM modules have little to no problem running at low latency settings when running at lower speeds than it is rated at say DDR500 at DDR400.

You might check Best Buy, they from time to time run a deal where you can get 512MB of DDR500 HyperX for about $120.

I believe i've seen a deal at Best Buy like that as well. <(^^<). Sounds Pretty good especially if your only looking for 512mb.
