Recommend me RAM for DFI Lanparty SLI

Hello, I need help getting RAM that will work with this motherboard. I previously had Kingston hyper x but for some reason my computer would not work correctly. I am into overclocking and my budget for ram MAX is $130. I've been looking at the cosair xms PC 3200 (non TCCD) at Newegg for about $129. Can anyone please recommend me any ram that is better for around that price or is this cosair good and will work on the DFI LanParty SLI? thanks!
 
Just stay away from Kingston and Corsair value, which cause incompatibilities with DFI.

I would recommend OCZ too.
 
thx for all the input guys, I will take a look at the OCZ Gold VX! But isn't the Cosair XMS timings alot better then the OCZ? The cosair are at 2-3-3-6 I think and the OCZ are at 2-3-3-8.... Oh nm, if you give it more voltage, it runs even better, wow!
 
I use the OCZ PC3500EB. 2 matched sticks of 512MB.
Not the best, but it was pretty damn good when I got it.

Mushkin also has a pretty nice line of high-end RAM.
 
OCZ has EOL ram because manf's who actually make the ICs, stop making it. Not because OCZ decides to stop producing the modules.

I would look for Geil One over at the Egg for $205 for a 1 gig setup. It does low latency, 2,2,2,5 up to about 250-260 ish.. can hit 305 mhz at 2.5,3,3 timings.
 
Is this the Value VX that everyone is talking about? Im debating whether to get this for $90 or the VX Gold for $140. If there aren't much difference between them, i might as well save 50 bucks and get the cheaper one? Any input guys?

OCZ Value VX

OCZ Value VX

Not VX for sure,
Voltage: 2.6V

I'm sure VX runs way higher than that. Again, as the above poster said it's discontinued.
