OCZ spec:
Price $84-$25 (R) = $59

OCZ DDR 1GB PC3200 (400MHz) Dual Channel (2X512MB), 184 Pin
CL 2.5-4-4-8, Value Series OCZ4001024V2.5DC-K


Corsair
Price $94.99 - $15 (R) = $79.99

Corsair 1GB PC 3200 2-64x64 XMS Dual-Channel DDR - #TWINX1024-3200C2PT -
CORSAIR spec:

The TWINX1024-3200C2 is a 1 GByte matched memory pair specifically designed for motherboards using chipsets with dual memory channels. Current dual channel chipsets include the Intel 865PE/G and 875P, and the Nvidia nForce2 Ultra. This memory kit consists of two CMX512-3200C2 DDR400 CAS-2 memory modules that have been tested together on either an 875P or an nForce2 Ultra dual channel DDR motherboard. This memory has been verified to operate at 200MHz (2-3-3). TWINX memory kits are designed to provide the ultimate in performance and stability in dual channel boards.

I highlighted both ram speed for ease of reading. the Corsair is $20 more expensive per 1gb or $40/2gb. I intend to do a slight o/c for a new build rig pc (amd Athlon 64 3500+) with limited budget. I'm having a tough time to decide which one is better buy since I believe the Corsair may be overcloked better. Share your thoughts.


 
i think the corsair will OC better but are you planning on getting 2gigs of ram (you mentioned $40 more for 2 gigabytes compared to the OCZ)? you should look into 2x1gb instead...and do you have an intel system? you're mentioning performance with intel sockets only. if so, then i guess the 4x512 doesn't really matter.
