I want to upgrade but is on a budget. I found some G.Skill and heard it can oc. But a lot of errors.

I am wondering what other ram is pretty good in oc and around $100-110. Maybe some OCZ, crucial ballistix or the Patriot.

IT appears some people are getting anywhere from 240 ~ 255FSB with slightly loose timings with that RAM. Not bad...255x11 is a fairly good OC :D

I heard that they get a lot of errors in memtest. Should I worry bout that?

Yes...that generally means one or both sticks are bad, or your timings/voltage arent correct or tweaked. If you purchase the sticks and they are tested bad with memtest, get your money back or RMA them.

?The GSkill is not bad. Don't expect more than 220Mhz out of OCZ Premier.

Good, I'll go with the GSkill then. Thanks.
