Regular Crucial ram is very good without being ridiculously priced. As a matter of fact, I even did a fair amount of overclocking with good results before they came out with their ballistix line. Crucial is known for its reliability which is a big plus for something to use at work and it comes with a lifetime warranty. I currently have 2 X 256MB (pc3200)in my Abit NF7-S rev. 2.0 motherboard running dual channel with my timings set to 2.5-2-2-2-5 which is pretty good. Yes, there are better sticks of ram that are more suited to overclocking and as such come with a heftier price tag, but for what your needs are, I think the regular crucial ram may be just the ticket.
