I gig Kingston Hyperx PC3500 or 1 gig Mushkin PC3500 level1 is what I would recommend. They are both CAS2, and the A64 loves high speed low latency memory, and you can OC and stay within memory spec.

I'm running a pair of Corsair XMS3200LL 512MB sticks with my A64 3200 and so far it's been able to run 2-2-2-6 at 220 (2.85 vdimm). I highly recommend the low latency Corsair.

The reason I prefer the OCZ is because it will save me about $50 in my PC I am customizing at abspc.com. Is it worth $50 to go with OCZ?

The only choices at abspc are the OCZ I listed vs. the Corsair I listed so I can't go w/ any mushkin, kingston, etc....

So, in other words, between only the OCZ Performance Series and the Corsair XMS Series, which should I go with? (keeping in mind that the OCZ will save me $50)

I don't see Mushkin as an option here, folks.
