It's that time again...upgrade time!
(well, soon anyways, but I always obsessively research first, I can't help it.)
I'm working on deciding on what ram I want to use in my upcoming revision of my gaming pc, "Cyborgmind." Most of the parts that can be seen in my sig I'll be re-using, however I'm going to be swapping the cpu/ram/mobo. I've already decided on an Abit QuadGT, and either a e6600 or Xeon 3060. I'm eyeing two sets of memory at the moment, although I'm always open to suggestions. I'm looking for a 2x1gb set, with an approximate budget of $200 or so (less is of course, preferable.)
One is particular is this set, OCZ Gold PC7200. I haven't found much about them yet though.

I've also had my eyes on these Firestix from Buffalo. They're out of stock pretty much everywhere, but seeing as how I am still just researching, this doesn't really matter:

So long as I can set aside the cash, I plan on finally trying out watercooling. My minimum OC goal is 3.6ghz, however with a good cooling setup, I'd like to go higher (so long as I get lucky with a decent cpu, that is.) So, I want ram that will run at the bare minimum, 400mhz 1:1, with the 450mhz speed of the OCZ PC7200 probably being overkill. However- I absolutely do not want to be held back by ram speeds. (or temps, which is why I am wanting to finally try WC'ing, but that is off topic here.)
Any suggestions will be appreciated
