Don't get any of them, generic crappy RAM is the absolute WORST thing you can do to a server. Incidentally, overclocking is about the second worst.😉
You can probably get away with it if you don't OC too much, and be sure to test for stability extensively.

Buy some GOOD brand PC3200. Check the Hot Deals or FS/FT forum, but don't use any of the RAM you mentioned. PC3700 (especially generic) is a waste of money for an AMD server.
 
Never heard of any of them. I haven't bought OC'ing ram for long time, only brands I heard were good were Corsair/Kingston/Crucial/OCZ and "decent" were Buffalo/Geil/Kingmax.

But Patriot and Ramses? DUnno bout that.
 
I like Crucial, Kingston value, corsair value or mushkin value. Look in Hot Deals for the best price out of those. It'll cost about $140. for the gig. And I would recommend getting somthing that's on either the Asus or memory manufacturer's compatibility list for your motherboard- could save you a lot of trouble.
