Memory for Asus A78Nx deluxe

Hi,

I was wondering what brand of memory do you guys use with the Asus board. I am in the market for one, but don't have the money to pay for Crosair or Mushkin, etc... Would like to have something stable in dual mode, and to be able to OC it along with my Barton at 180-190MHz (rev 1.06 mobo limitation). The brands I am looking at are Samsung, Infineon, cheaper OCZ model, chepest Kingston HyperX DDR333.

Also, is it worth it to get DDR400, or should I stick to DDR333?!

Thanks

Kingston Hyper X is great OCing memory and not all that expensive now...You can get 256 PC3500 for 66.00/each plus free 2nd day air shipping at googlegear.com

GeIL ULD memory, but it's not quite so cheap.

I got two sticks of kingston pc 2700 for 54 dollars each. And i can get my board to boot all the way up to 210 but its not very stable, past 200. Rev 1.04 btw

I am now interested in the Kingston HyperX since it seems to be the most economical of the good brands. However, I have a question with their ratings, they have the following speeds:

PC2700-333MHz: 2-2-2-5-1 PCB height: 1.200"
PC3000-370MHz: 2-2-2-6-1 PCB height: 1.200"
PC3200-400MHz: 2-2-2-6-1 PCB height: 1.250"
PC3500-434MHz: 2-3-3-7-1 PCB height: 1.200"

Now, aren't they all the same with just different timing? It sure looks like at least 2700 and 3000 are the same. Shouldn't I just buy the 2700 and OC it myself to PC32000 values?! I don't wanna run over 200FSB and I am thinking of doing around 185-190FSB at most. So, do I really need the 3200 or 3000?

What about just getting a pair of Samsung 2700s? Is anyone running them at 185 or more in dual mode?
