Josh, which one's do you have installed. I am open-minded...if there are better, I will definitely consider them...as long as they are reasonbly priced...

temeteus, what do you think...should I install some sort of passive/ or active coolers on them? I heard that the dissipitators on them are not 1st class.
Cheers

1) OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Special Ops Edition Urban Elite 4-4-3-15 :-)

Mines only ddr 400, so you wouldnt want that, but 4's might be good for ddr2 but not that i knew of ?

OCZ is good stuff from what i hear, id go with that.

Just make sure that your case has good ventilation. So that the hot air gets out and colder gets in. And make sure to clean it from dust time to time...

Make sure your buying ram with Micron D9 ICs or it wont overclock for shit and scales poorly with voltage. If you need help findign which ones have micron stuff on it post here or message me and I can help you with it. I personally would go with the TeamGroup thats guaranteed micron, OCZ has good stuff too but make sure you buy Micron based.

Corsair is very good for overclocking as well apparently, at least that's what CCL are saying
