Whats the best 1 gig of DDR RAM for overclocking priced at $200 or under?

Ummm, The BEST ram, I would say is this OCZ DDR600: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227217
Best value, I would say is definitly this OCZ Gold DDR400. It's got cas 2, and timing 2-2-2-5. $125

Is it worth to get that RAM if I can squeeze it into my budget?

It's so good there are no reviews on it :p

I would definitly get the DDR400. What a bang for your buck! It's as expensive as valueselect, but higher quality than XMS. I got it, and had experience with cors. XMS + VS, and THIS IS BETTER. I wouldn't even go with the DDR600 if you could afford it. Go w. gold.

Ok but I want really good RAM, I am willing to spend money on really good RAM even if its more expensive...

Is this any good?

listen dude, just because it's more expensive, doesn't mean it's better. That patriot stuff looks ok, but its about the same as the OCZ stuff. OCZ is a known name, and patriot, isn't that popular. You're not gonna get any more out of the patriot if if you overclock the hell out of it.

Ok then... hows this look?
