Which Ram would be best for an Epox 8RDA+

Planning on overclocking but not a lot.

I would suggest either of the top three. The first two Corsair part's are the same exact memory, just one has a black heatspreader, and the "PT" one has the platnium heatspreader. Either the Corsair or the Kingston will do well on the Epox, and o/c well too. I would just go with what's cheaper.

I would suggest KINGSTON HyperX 184-pin 512MB DDR400 (PC3200) DDR RAM. Cheaper ( at newegg ) and IMO just as good as Corsair

My friend's rig Ibuilt him has the 8rda+ and 1 stick (he will another down the road as prices drop) of pc3200 hyperX and it works flawlessly. Much deserved

You forgot some additional information prices are from Newegg.

CORSAIR XMS 512MB PC3200C2 --- $112
KINGSTON HyperX 512MB DDR400 --- $100
CRUCIAL 512MB PC2700 --- $71

Without pricing, the XMS is a pretty obvious choice.

I decided that I'd rather have a gig of slightly slower ram, so I went with 2 sticks of the Crucial. The price must have gone up recently, because I paid $67 a stick. I also seemed to luck out a bit, as I have them running dual channel on an 8rda+ at 200MHz FSB @ default timings of 2.5/3/3/7
