I need to run out and buy some memory cause I sold off my Hynix 2x512 PC3200 BT-D43.

I am looking at 2 choices, a single 512 dimm of Geil Golden Dragon PC3200 vs a dual kit of OCZ PC3500EB . Since my VNF3 250 is single channel I am leaning towards the Geil, it is alos less expensive but I am wondering whether it will allow me to get to the 240 fsb range. Reviews show it has on P4 but I am not sure about A64.

Another option is Mushkin 2x256 PC3200 dual kit. The benefit of a single 512 dimm allows me to upgrade later to a GB of ram vs 768 if I go with the dual kits. Unfortunately the place I am buying the ram does not have 512 dimms in the OCZ EB or Mushkin.

I just got this board the other day. Only EB ram will overclock and keep 1T timings. Thats a hugly important one so I'd go for EB. My hynix,samsung and bh-6 couldn't run 1T over 220Mhz max and that was tested with 3.8Vdimm max too
