Which memory to buy?

[Slickone]

Was thinking of buying from zipzoomfly (newegg charges me tax). Which of these is the best, the Corsair Value Select, Crucial, or Samsung Original? I'll be getting 2 x 256MB for a mildly overclocked PC I'm building for someone else.

I've always had EXCELLENT stable overclock performance from Samsung.

If you want high speeds (250MHz+ clock) at low latencies, you want these. They use Samsung TCCD ICs on a BrainPower PCB.

Otherwise, if you're going to keep your memory around ~200MHz clock, stick with Corsair Value Select CL2.5.

Well it's a Shuttle AN35N Ultra mobo, with a 2700+ T'bred. I'm not sure what FSB to expect out of that, but since I'm building it for someone else (mom actually), I won't be pushing it to the max. Will I need/be able to run at 250Mhz?

Now me, on the other hand. I bought the same setup to build, but plan to push it about to the max (air cooled). I was looking at the Kingston HyperX, and want 2 x 512MB.

Please help with any suggestions. I've been out of the loop for awhile.

I've never heard of Patriot until now. Is it new good RAM? And I won't be ordering anything from Newegg, if they're the only place selling it.

I have that mobo and I have Corsair Value Ram... even this budget ram can get to 215. I know the mobo goes to 250 in the BIOS, but whether or not it's works is another story.... Get the value ram. Dual channel is nice... get 2 if you want that.
