Hi guys...I recently purchased a IC7-G and a 1gb matched pair of OCZ PC4000(non gold). I intend to overclock the P4 2.4C. I decided to save money on the gold because of a review I read on Tom's hardware...

What I basically got out of it was that aggressive memory timings are not as valuable as higher synchronous bus speed. Poking around in this forum it seems many of you feel the opposite. Have I made too rash a decision? The steep price of this memory was indeed hard to swallow, but is it more than overkill, is it actually a worse buy than say a some better timed PC3700? My goal from this OC is to push the processor to it's max with synchronous bus speeds.
Any one have experience with this particular brand and model? What are the odds I will be able to push it past its modest timings?
