That's a really fancy one, it's got a mirrored finish
But it's under 280

I would say there's a group a RAM companies that are good along with OCZ. Corsair is among them in my opinion. On the other hand EVERY company makes particular modules that you should stay away from.

I'm by no means an expert with RAM but i think the higher priced XMS series is for the most part a solid buy. If you are looking to OC you should check out that part of the forum. If you aren't OCing then almost any RAM will work fine.

wresting: I don't know a whole lot about DDR2, but here's a good one

and it's cheap!

BColes, forgot to mention that - If you're not OCing, then there's really no point in spending $250+ for memory.

Would this work out pretty good for over clocking?
