Welcome to the Forums!

There are several brands that are better for overclocking than others.

The top 3 are Mushkin's, Corsair, and Crucial, not nessecarily in that order.

Some people get better results with Crucial (The lowest cost of them all) than Mushkin's (The highest cost of them all). Some get better results with Corsair then with Mushkin's or Crucial.

It just depends on the sticks you end up with. Stick with one of those 3 brands, and you'll overclock faster, and more stably than with other inferior brands like Kingston and Samsung.

Edit: You can expect a mod to move to the "Memory" forum.

Think you can add Infineon to that list, as Mushkin now is using Infineon 7ns chips and are guaranteed to run @ 150Mhz 2-2-2.

The Infineon modules are a lot cheaper (~$40 for 256Mb, bout half the price of Mushkin modules), but make sure they have the 7ns chips. (product codes are: HYS 64V32220GU-7-C2 and HYS 72V32220GU-7-C2).
OK they wont guarantee that they will run @ 150Mhz 2-2-2, but they do come with a 10 year warranty.

Welcome to the forum!

Just as PhLuBB (I'm getting good at spelling it now!) says, Crucial is excellent quality memory for a remarkably good price. You can buy it direct from Crucial , and they normally have some sort of offer on(like free delivery)

Heh... forgot Infineon. (Just happens to be my current RAM brand too! =P)

They make fantastic stuff rated at very low CAS speeds too.

Glad to see someone got the caps right in my name, red! Most people exclude a "B" or only capitalize the first letter.

Edit: I left Micron out of the list because Crucial is a special devision of Micron. They use high speed Micron chips.)
