I think you are right. The OCZ would definately be the better choice as it has 5-2-2-2 timings, lower price, and includes 15MIR at this time.

Yea, cause those aren't VX's!
The VX isn't BH-5. The PC3200 Gold non-VX is new BH-5.

BH-5 is a type of memory chip. VX is a line of OCZ RAM.
Well, I'm still learning this stuff too, soo...
BH-5 is a type of chip made by Winbond used on the ram stick. It is able to run high speeds at tight timings, but requires more voltage than most stock motherboards can supply.
VX is a OCZ label that describes another of their UTT type of memory chips. AFAIK, the VX stands for Value eXtreme voltage - or something similiar.
See in the attachment the number in the lower left that ends in BH-5? That's one of many different types such as BH-6, CH-5, CH-6, TCCD, TCC4, TCC5, etc. Hope that helps.
EDIT: Sorry about the BF pic - why didn't it thumbnail?
