Is this good memory?

I'm thinking about upgrading my system and I might be using some OCZ Platinum 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel ram Model # OCZ2N10662GK . Anybody used these before? Can they handle a decent overclocking?

Judging from the other two threads you've posted, you want to get the E7200, correct? If so, don't bother with that OCZ RAM. Any cheap set of DDR2 800 RAM is all that you need to OC the E7200. Some math:

Stated FSB/4 = Actual FSB
Multiplier x Actual FSB = CPU Speed
1:1 Ratio: 2 x Actual FSB = RAM Speed
1:1 Ratio: FSB = 1/2 RAM speed

E7200:
Multi x Actual FSB, RAM Speed = Clock Speed
9.5 × 266Mhz = 2.53Ghz, DDR2-533 <<== Stock speeds
9.5 × 333Mhz = 3.16Ghz, DDR2-667 <<== Easy OC
9.5 × 400Mhz = 3.8Ghz, DDR2-800 <<== Excellent OC

yes

I'm using OCZ Platinum in my gaming rig and its a good brand. I haven't had any problems yet.

I wouldnt get just any ram like danny suggested, the ocz will work awesome, and besides dd2 is so cheap you cant afford not to buy it
