I personally would go with Corasir normally, but the price is a good deal better on the OCZ. Might as well check it out.

I too would side with Corsair relying solely on my past experiences with their products. If you're getting PC3200, may I suggest getting some Kingston sticks from ZipZoomFly as they're still selling BH5 sticks.

I read a review in CPU mag that put OCZ and corsair tied for number one, but the OCZ is cheaper,
thats why I just placed an order for some my self.

Ok, let me tell you something.
If you wanna go with Corsair, the only model you should get is the PC3500, the 3200 and the 3200LL is using CH-5s which you want to evoid. The 3500 is using BH-5 as far as I know.
I would really consider Top Hat Theater's advice to get a Kingston HyperX with BH-5s from ZZF, that's a good deal.
Suma.

I doubt you'll find any BH-5 anywhere but 'pre-owned', peeps been on search & buy missions well over couple of months now. Make sure, and if it is, please tell ME !!!

The LL Pro sticks are spec'ed to run tighter timings than the non-LL sticks. However, I wouldn't get either as neither would be BH5.
As for Mushkin, it's one of the best brands available and rivals Corsair for #1 IMO.
For all those of you looking for BH5, check this thread out They're still available...just gotta know where to look.

The timings for the stick you listed fit those of BH5/6 however, I'm wary as I've never heard of that brand. If the manufacturer didn't remark the chips, they'll say Winbond xxxxxxxbh-5 or something to that extent.
