Which DDR3200 is best value?

I have finally ordered my IS7-E and P4 2.4C processor and need a recommendation as to what ram to get. I will be overclocking this new setup but don't have very deep pockets (I will get 512mb). I haven't bought any ram for a long time so really don't know what brands are good values and are of good quality for overclocking. Thanks.

You may also want to check out Best Buy, they are currently selling Kingston HyperX 512mb PC3500 for $131 per stick with a $12 rebate.
OC's pretty good and has timings of 2,3,3,7 ( CAS 2 ) at 434 MHz

Thanks for the info. Do I need to get 2 256mb sticks for dual channel operation or will 1 512mb stick work the same?

ALso, many good things have been said about the Buffalo PC3200. Looking at buying myself. Price is $89 shipped from Newegg for one 512 stick. IMO, you are better off getting one 512 MB stick now, forgoing the Dual Channel boost until you want to add another 512MB. Dual Channel won't get you much in line of performance (3-5% mebbe), and you will limit your memory upgrade options for the future. I would seriously opt for one stick of 512.
