Ram Question?

Which ram would you recommend for high fsb overclocking?

KINGSTON HYPERX 1024MB DUAL CHANNEL KIT PC3200 2X512MB DDR 400MHZ 184PIN CL2-2-2-5

MUSHKIN 1GB DUAL CHANNEL 2X512 PC3200 2-2-2 LEVEL 2 V2 WITH HEAT SPREADER

OCZ DUAL CHANNEL OPTIMIZED PLATINUM 2X512MB DDR PC3200 HEAT SPREADER REV.2 CL 2-2-2-5

I know OCZ is probably the best, but is it that much of a difference for the price??



SPECS:
AMD mobile 2500+
ASUS A7N8X-X Mobo
1GB Samsung pc3200 DDR400 RAM
Volcano 12 Heatsink/Fan
BenQ DW822A 8x DVD-RW
160GB Seagate 7200rpm 8mb Cache HD
420W Thermaltake PS
XFX Nvidia 6600GT o/c at 500hz/1.1ghz
 
Any of the 2-2-2-5 stuff is good for overclocking (usually signifies TCCD or other such chips, and the chips are really what matter, not the brand of the stick itself), but you really only need this kind of memory if you're overclocking a P4 (not running 1:1 or close to it will be bad here). Typically, you won't be pushing an AXP's FSB above 220 (value RAM can almost alyways handle this), and an A64 benefits very little from "fast RAM."
 
Id get the OCZ if it has VX in the part number or the Mushkin
newegg has a good price IMO

or you can choose BH5 ram (good stuff) if used is ok with you (new doesnt exist anymore 🙁), you can buy it right here in the classifieds
