What RAM to buy for new build?

[mazeroth]

Looking for some cheap memory for my secondary build, which will most likely be used by my wife. Overclocking is not mandatory, but I wouldn't mind getting the chip up to 2.2-2.4 ghz, if possible. My current rig uses Corsair Value Select PC3200 on a DFI Lanpary Ultra NF4 with a 3500+ and I OCed it from 2.2 ghz to 2.5 ghz. Do you think I should just stick with the Value Select, or is there a better option for cheap?

Thanks!

go the value select and use a memory divider you are better off with the extra MHz and you really don't notice much unless you are comparing benchmarks when running a divider.
