I'm thinking that the Mushkin may be more valuable for a future (non-OCed) A64 system.
Yes I'd go for it. For the current system it probably won't matter much, but for the A64 system it should help a lot. I had pc2700 paired with my A64 before and it was horrible. Got some cheap pc3200 ocz and there was a major increase in performance.
