These are the best value for overclocking ram:

They are DDR500's!

And pretty cheap!

I ordered a pair yesterday, and I cannot wait to get them.

A lot of members here have them, reports say they can do 280, if not more!

A little expensive at first but after the rebate it works out in your price range.

I used to have that motherboard. I liked it. Easy to OC.

Yeah, trust us Overclock.net'ers over the newegg reviewers. Those newegg yahoos dont always tell the truth .

I also wouldn't fall for the rebate scams, since you cannot return it after you cut the packaging (at least that is what it indicated on one of the forms I got). Go with the G.Skill.

thanks everyone. im trying to avoid rebates so the instant savings on the g.skill is appealing. plus the fact that its ddr500 is extremmely appealing.
