Which mobo and cpu will you be using?

For that price range you would be better of getting some G-Skill BHS.

What ICs are those G-Skills built upon?

Samsung UCCC's but I'm not 100% sure.

I would not even blink at these. You can't bead OCZ Platnum and well worth the extra 20 or so bucks. Look at the reviews. I wish I had banked the money I blew on Kingston on OCZ instead.

for 20 bucks more you can get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231021 which are sure to be better then those OCZ sticks, as they are binned to ddr500.

At 2.7-2.8V, those OCZs will run 2.5-3-3-8 to DDR500

Please don't give out estimates that you can't back up and which you are basing on NewEgg reviews. This RAM is binned at DDR400 and it may not run 1MHz above that. You just can't go around and throw out numbers.

This doesn't go out for this RAM itself but for all sticks in general. The only clocks that are guaranteed are the ones that they are binned at and even that is not 100% guaranteed.

Even more important is that these are 1GB sticks and manufacturers have been known to switch chips on them often (more often then 512MB sticks). Meaning early revisions may have clocked better then new ones and vice versa.

I'm not attacking you here but for future references try to keep this in mind.

I have those in my current computer and I love them. I haven't had time to tinker with my overclocks, but I'm running at a comfortable 220mhz with these at 2-3-2-5 with default voltage.

I'll take 2-3-2-5 @225 over 3-4-4 @250 but knowing OCZ, I'm sure they will make it higher. Sorry I guess I should have stated that.
