Honestly buying that memory wouldn't be worth it. PC4300 is like 260Mhz memory. That means you can run 260Mhz FSB synchronus without actually overclocking the memory. Most memory is good for a slight overclock so in actuality you could run that memory around 265Mhz FSB.

That being said, look at your system. The best AMD boards hit 220's FSB without modification. well under what that memory can do.

I would recommend a good quality PC3200 or PC3500 for that machine. I use PC3500 from OCZ and it's running at 227 FSB with fast writes enabled and moderate timings. Since you're machine most likely won't do much more then 230 this is going to be the best way to go.

A good overclock depends more on the quality of the memory than the estimated bandwidth rating, which is what the PC ratings are. For an amd machine look at Twinmos, OCZ (try to use the higherend stuff), Corsair XMS, mushkin, or anything with either BH-5 or CH-5 chips.
