While I can't tell you what you should buy, I can tell you that I have had my PC3200 Corsair up to around 215 @ 4-2-2-2 timings, haven't tried higher. I have been pretty happy with it, considering it is only rated @ 200 at like 7-3-3-2.5 or something.

Corsair XMS, although pricey, should not let you down But if you want good ram you should really look into the twinmos rams.
