Memory Recommendations?
Hello, this is going to be my first system, and its emphasis will be on overclocking. I plan on running Gentoo Linux on it.
__________________Here's what I have configured so far: Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition Motherboard: DFI INFINITY NF570 SLI RAM: Undecided Case: NZXT Zero Full Tower Case What do you recommend for the best overclocking potential for this system? I want at least 2GB. I've been looking at various OCZ ones, but I don't know what to get.

Thanks for the reply.
__________________ I must ask, though: Is there a significant difference between the Ballistix Tracer and the Ballistix, besides the price and LEDs?

Heya Red, the OCZ Plat.Rev 2 RAM is pretty good...
__________________Its DDR2 800, but people have had it run at 900 even 950MHz It comes with EVP [Extended Voltage Protection] so you can whack up the voltages and stay in warranty, Also they have low latencies n' the XTC heatsinks keep em running cool =]

Its worth the few extra bucks for the tracers, they look so awesome! The ballistix are the best RAM right now as they have the D9 chips (Great overclockers). I have my ballistix at 1210Mhz at 5-5-5-8 timings.
 They have to be good if there is a whole club dedicated to it, (See my signature).

The Team Xtreem RAM costs much more than the Crucial and has about the same performance, so I think I'm going to go with the Crucial Ballistix. I'll keep the tracer version in mind, thanks.
