Thats like the biggest POS memory in the world. DFI boards hate VS. Get some real memory. OCZ.

If you want uber high clocks, you can try VX although I believe those are out of pr oduction...

Mine hit 265 2-2-2-5 @ 3.5 volts.. thats what DDR533 almost?

Or you could get the insane TCCD sticks Geil One I believe? They hit DDR600. Or OCZ has PC-4800 DDR600 sticks that are probably the same.

If you want good 2GB sticks, you can get the OCZ EL PC-4000 Platinum. Anand got them to like 267 @ 2.5-3-2-8, and I believe he hit around 270...
 
for 2GB kits, definitely go for PC4000, either ocz el, ocz eb or g.skill 3-3-2-8.

for 1GB kits, geil one or even the geil pc4000 ultra platinum 2.5-4-4-7 hynix.

you will have to up the vdimm on geil and ocz. you may be able to get good oc with the g.skill on stock volts.
 
ocz pc4000 eb, i just got them for 200 with a 40 dollar rebate, but i see them goign around still for a bit under 200 . best 2gb (2x1gb) memory you can buy

Corsair VS is not a POS. It is just not made to OC. If its run at stock, then it is a good deal. But, as the OP wants to OC then that mem is definately NOT for him.
