Really Cheap !gb Dual Channel pc3200

Hi guys, I plan on selling my dual channel 512 pc3200 Dell ram and upgrading to a gig of pc3200. I want to run at 215 bus, MAYBE 220, with timings around 2.5x3x3x11. What would be a nice cheap dual channel setup. I saw a Centon set on NewEgg for $78. I also saw a Corsair setup for $90 on a bunch of sites.
 
I don't know about Centon's performance, although I have seen it listed here and there. IMO, it never pays to skimp on things like RAM - get something that is known to perform well, and that goers double because you plan to overclock.

GSkill seems to be the current favorite around here.
 
Also, does it matter if it is dual sided. My motherboard is an Abit NF7-S Ver. 2.0
What about the Mushkin $80, or Corsair $89
 
For the money that Gskill ram w/ Cas2 is the way to go. just keep in mind it needs 2.65 volts, also if you can really push it the Twinmos w/ Winbond UTT chips is a good way to go too.

Both are great. The only reason the G.Skill is the favorite currently around here is because it has a cas latency of 2. This will not make a significant difference in performance, but since it is basically the same price as RAm with a CAS of 2.5 or 3 then it is worth it. I have also heard it can overclock well, but I have not seen anything to prove that particular model does.

SO with the G-Skill could I up the timings to 2.5x3x3x11 and run it at 225 bus at ~2.65 volts. Where is the cheapest I can find it, and are there any coupon codes or anything.
