what brand will be best for overclocking northwoods on a msi 645 ultra mobo? is samsung pc2700 any good? how about just plain crucial pc2100? would appreciate any comments.
 
I am using Crucial PC2100 running @150 Mhz the ram craps out @ 155 FSB I do have some Mushkin High Performance PC2700 which is rated for 166 Mhz and I really so no difference in performance at 150 Mhz . I am limited by my periphials crapping out at the Extreme Bus rates I am running.

I am using Samsung PC2700, and I am as high as 181 at CL=2.5. System is stable as rock! Others have success with Kingmax as well, some even with OCZ PC3000. But you make the call with OCZ, some work well, some don't. But Samsung and Kingmax are the P4 OC'ers favorites right now.
 
I'm with ahsia on this one. Get some Samsung or Kingmax PC2700. They are both very competitively priced and many have had good luck overclocking them. I'm running the Samsung, but I leave my memory speed at 166MHz so I can't really tell you where it tops out.
