I am looking to buy some memory from newegg. Planned to go with A7N8X Deluxe and 1700+ XP Processor ocverclocked to hopefully 2.2GHz for now. Then in future I will upgrade to barton 3000+ or higher. What ram should I get from newegg??? Can someone explain differences to me between them too?

One has black heat spreaders, the other is platinum colored. Corsair offers nice overclocked memory, but at a price premium. The Geil will work fine @ 200MHz, and is probably the best bang for the buck from your list.
 
Thanks guys, can one of you plz explain to me what the different is between these?

I'm finding it a bit hard to believe I can get 512mb DDR PC3200 for $90 a piece. The only difference I see is the 2nd one has CAS 2....... 1T timings, better heat spreader and it's Retail. All that is nice, but not worth extra money. Will the $90 ram run and overclock as good as the $140 ram (or atleast comparible to it?). there are no reviews for the $90 stuff at newegg and it's not in stock, so i'm wondering if it's either really new, or else it sucks.......

At that price, I could get Corsair XMS for cheaper.
