Good DDR2 on the cheap?

[hyperasus]

I’m looking for some good DDR2(512 sticks) on the cheap that have good overclocking potential? There are so many to choose from at newegg. Are there any good sticks for under $50 that have a good chance of clocking to DDR2 700 or better?

Almost any of the major brands of DDR2-667 will easily O/C to DDR2-700 speeds. Some of the DDR2-533 might hit DDR2-700 with extra voltage and relaxed timings.

For example, the OCZ Value series PC2-4200 is rated 4-4-4-12, but OCZ can handle fairly high voltage, so running 2.0 to 2.1v and using 5-5-5-12 timings will probably O/C pretty good.

How much are you looking at for capacity, something like 2X512? Are you looking for super cheap regardless of timings? If you are looking for RAM under $50, then you are probably stuck with 2X256, unless you can push the budget up to about $80 or so (Mushkin or Corsair).

I'm looking at 512x2. When I said $50 I meant per stick. So I'm basically looking for the best memory I can get for under $100. It would be nice to find something that can do 800 or better for around $100, but I don't know if that's possible. I can't decide if Corsair, Mushkin, or OCZ will be the better overclocker in this price range.
