Which Is The Better Memory

I have a question I did not see covered entirely in the choosing your ram post. The 2 memory types are listed here with the url to newegg.

Corsair 3200 vs. ocz 3700. Is the corsair so top quality that it will beat the pc 3700 ocz? I will be using a MSI "K8N Neo2 Platinum mobo. I want to try to overclock a bit with a amd 64 3200+. Any help would be appreciated.

get the ocz, a64's dont benefit from tighter timings

So with the new motherboards that say they support up to ddr 400 they can accept ddr 433 ok?

 

[BW86]

yep

ddr433 is just ddr 400 thats rated to run at higher frequencies. its used so that when overclocking you dont have to run a divider for the memory.

So if that is the case can a person run ddr 500 in these ddr 400 boards? Would it serve any real purpose to run that high of a frequency?

yes a person can run ddr500 in ddr400 boards. Yes if u want to overclock you can set the fsb very high without having to set a divider.
