Corsair XMS 2700 C2 or GEIL 3200. 512meg

Newegg now has the Corsair XMS 2700 C2 512 meg sticks for only $122. I was wondering if it was better to get this or a stick of Geil 3200 C2 512 for $140.

How much headroom will I have with the Corsair, and how far have people pushed the 2700 with C2 latency? Should I buy this ram if I am planning on hitting FSB speeds of 195+ with C2 and at least "aggressive" timings?

I'm also open to suggestions.

The 3200 is not an option as it is out of my price range... unfortunately :(
 
I don't think you will be able to push PC2700 ram to 195+ speeds without relaxing the timings quite a bit.

You get what you pay for.
 
I was afraid of that, Wangster.

Anyone know of a decent deal for good ram that goes past 195 with CAS 2?
