I highly recommend OCZ Platinum PC3200 - in 1GB kit guise (2 x 512MB

sticks)
this runs faster than anything else I've tried (220MHz at 2-2-3-5 timings

at
default 2.6v, completely Prime95 stable on an Abit NF7-S v.2 w/ XP2500+).
Mushkin PC3500 Level II is also exceptional but typically more expensive.


I found a low-cost alternative I'm very happy with. The Buffalo Technology
PC3700 uses the same Winbond BH-5 modules as the Mushkin PC3500 Level II
Black. NewEgg used to sell the 512-meg sticks for $99, but now they only
offer the 256-meg sticks for $55. (I just ordered two more of the latter.)

On my Abit IC7, an Intel 875 chipset, these run 2,3,2,6 at 220 mhz, which
allows me to OC my P4C 2.4g to 3.3g at 5:4. The ram will go higher with more
relaxed timings, but I'm happy with the stability and speed I have now.
