Suggestions on RAM??

[BigCoolJesus]

Ok, to make this simple, i need a 2X1GB kit of PC3200 RAM, and i will not spend more then $200 dollars (+/- $10)

I will be overclocking a 3200+Venice (on an Epox 9NPA+), but other then that, what would you reccomend?

(i was going to get kingston valueRAM but the price went up, so im seeing if theres any better options)

get Patriot ram. They have single 1gb sticks that have 2-3-2-5 timing. Their 2x1 pack has crap timings, dont buy that stuff.

yea, but ive heard mized reviews

the only thing bad about 1GB sticks is (if there anything like Corsair) each stick could have different chips

Maybe you missed the "will not spend over $200" part?

I thought Corsair VS did not overclock very well. I'm going to overclock a 3000+ Venice on a MSI Neo4 Platinum and use OCZ Gold Series 1GB (2 x 512MB) 2-2-2-5.

Edit: Why do you need 2 gigs?

2 gigs for the future (its already clear that BF2 uses more then 1gig with all settings on high) and actually the corsair im getting can get up to 250MHz FSB (without a divider)
