Ok, today or tomorrow I need to place an order for some PC2-800 DDR2 (2x1GB) and the Patriot Extreme PDC22G6400LLK is being compared to the OCz ATI Crossfire OCZ2A8002GK.
The OCz was initially reported by NewEgg as being 4-4-4-12, but since they discovered its 4-4-4-15. Now, they and other resellers are offering the Patriot 4-4-4-12 product for a reasonable price.
Usage will be in a new Abit F-I90HD mATX motherboard with an Intel E6300, which I already have. Initially, I will be using the BIOS-equipped overclocking resources to set either of these non-standard memories (i.e. they are not 1.8v standards), and then trying to push the collective system up a bit starting with stock cooling.
Feedback would be nice as I've never overclocked before. This is a strange behavior from me considering the last PC I built included components known for their ability to overclock--go figure, I'm lazy. The depth in which one can get involved in memory selection is a bit overwhelming to say the least.
