Unless you will actually be overclocking higher than 400Mhz on your FSB, you should just stick with the OCZ. Because you will then have RAM that CAN run at 1000...but is only running at less than 800. And then it's also doing so with higher timings.

You should post all of your system hardware in your Sig, it helps us to help you with questions and problems.

yep, those are pretty good timings, However you probably wouldn't really notice the difference between the 4-4-4-12's you have and those 4-4-3-8's

But I guess that's up to you

I think its worth it, I'll get basically a full refund and then some by buying that mem.

Yeah, I guess if it's cheaper, then it might be a decent idea (just check to make sure you won't be charged a restocking fee, or it might end up costing you money!)

Check out the Team Xtremes over at Tankguys.com. I think they are around $290, though.

Super Talent It Is

Yeah thanks Maxfly, I went with the Super Talent, too good of a deal of pc6400 with 4-4-3-8 timings. I heard you can drop them all to 3 fairly easy as well. Its an awesome price for sure. Let me know your experiences with it.
