OCZ EB or CORSAIR XMS2

I am building a new system and need some advice on which memory should I go with:

System:
ASUS P5WD2 955X
Intel P4 660


OCZ Enhanced Bandwidth
Speed DDR2 533 (PC2 4200)
Cas Latency 3
Timing 3-2-2-8
Voltage 2.0V

or

CORSAIR XMS2 5400UL
Speed DDR2 675 (PC2 5400)
Cas Latency 3
Timing 3-2-2-8
Voltage 2.1V

The OCZ EB Platinum Rev. 2 LE PC4200 3-2-2-8 is some darn good DDRII and can run 667mhz 3-2-2-8. However this new Corsair XMS2 5400 is looking pretty fast and I think it will achieve a higher frequency with the 3-2-2-8 timings than the OCZ will, I believe this memory hit DDR2-1066 with like 5-5-5-15 timings. I'm going to wait a little but I might buy me some of this Corsair XMS2 5400.

Yeah I saw the the 5400UL sticks go higher with the same timings...I basically want to drop the 660 multi to 14 and go as high as I can. So I can do this better with the 5400UL stick than the OCZ, right?

I would think so. That's what I'm trying to dow ith my 650, but SpeedStep is dicked up and not working how it worked on my P5AD2-E.

I'm going to wait untill OCZ comes out with some sticks to compete with the Corsair 5400UL, because I've had bad experiences with Corsair and nothing but a great experience with OCZ.
