I'm probably going to order a P4 1.6 northwood tonight, and was wondering, given those two choices, which stick of ram would be the best for overclocking. I can get the generic PC2700 for $15 more than the Samsung PC2100, but if it's worth it then I'll pay the extra money.

Also, the "generic" PC2700 ram that this particular store has might actually be Samsung. Here's a link to the ram at the store, and here's a picture of a stick of samsung PC2700. People on the message board at that store are saying it is in fact Samsung. The lables do look similar...

Oh and I'm going to get an i845D chipset motherboard, btw.

Your link indeed looks like samsung original. I would go for the PC2700 since you should at least get 166MHz out of it. You aren't guaranteed those results with PC2100.
