Okay, so I've chosen every single part in my computer and am 99% satisfied with it. Many agree everything is fine, and I'm fairly confident. However, the 1% is still slightly bothering me.

It's fairly expensive and I like it, but it seems quite a few people dislike the Samsung RAM. I want to overclock my FSB to about 220MHz or so, (actually 216.5) so I run my fsb and ram at the same speed, and I'd like my multiplier to be as high as it can go without water cooling. I'm trying to get about 2.4 to 2.5GHz out of it.
Is there any reason why this ram isn't up to it? I've heard some very good things, but more people seem sceptical about it. Still, it's under $200 and more popular ram like OCZ, Corsair, and Kingston are all at about $300. I like the less money, but I don't want to ruin the entire system for $100. What should I do?
