Which memory should I get for OCing a 3000 Winchester?

[Freya Shiva]

I'm planning on ocing a 3000 winchester soon. I would like some advice on which of these memories I should get. And which will give me the best results. I've settled on getting G-skill PC3200.

This memory is rated at DDR400 CAS: 2-2-2-5, With DDR550 at CAS: 2.5-4-4-4-8

G. Skill PC3200 $250.00: http://www.excaliberpc.com/pro...9&products_id=4246

This memory is rated at DDR400 CAS: 2-2-2-5, With DDR550 at CAS: 2.5-3-3-3-7

G. Skill PC3200 $295.00: http://www.excaliberpc.com/pro...9&products_id=4242

This memory is the same as the one above but the product number says 1GBLF instead of 1GBLE and is 25 dollars cheaper.

G. Skill PC 3200 $275.00: http://store.yahoo.com/digi4me/gs1gbkit5x2d3.html

Ok, so my question is, would I be okay with buying the cheaper ram with DDR550 CAS: 2.5-4-4-4-8, or should I get the CAS: 2.5-3-3-3-7? Will it really make a difference from the faster CAS of the more expensive rams? I want to get up to around 2.6 ghz on air with the 3000 winchester. And i'm also very confused, whats with all the letters at the end of the RAM IDs....IE: 1GBLF, 1GBLE, 1GBLC....I'm guessing the higher the letter the better the ram? Anyone who is experienced in overclocking, please give me some advice as i'm totally new to overclocking. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And sorry for the long post.

I would go with a more well known brand than GSKILL (never even heard of it) for overclocking...some OCZ Platinum Rev. 2 would run about the same cost, go with that.

That was what I was thinking too. I wanted to go with the OCZ PLat Rev. 2 originally, but decided to go with G. skill because they're an unknown company and they're the underdog. Too many people use OCZ. I guess that's just me . Well if the OCZ do perform and overclock bette than the memories I listed above then I'll settle for OCZ.
