Okay I am purchasing parts for my new PC and I would like to overclock my AMD 64 to at least 2.5GHz

Now originally I wanted to go with a AMD 64 3000+ (90nm) and some OCZ 3200 Platinum Rev2 1GB kit which is $269 @ newegg. But today I saw in the HOT DEALS forum that Outpost is selling some Kingston Hyper X 1GB 3200 kit for $159.99.

Now I don't know if this memory would bring the 3000+ to the 2.5Ghz that I want, so I was wondering if I should go with this memory or stick with the OCZ. Anyone with any experiences please share.

Also would the Kingston memory and a 3500+ (90nm) be able to hit 2.5Ghz no problem? If so maybe I'll go with that alternative.
