Any Value in DDR2 "Value" RAM? (Intel Overclock)

I'm planning on purchasing what I consider "middle of the road" components and was wondering if I could expect a "middle of the road" overclock on typical DDR2 value ram. Is there really any "value" in the product or is it marketingspeak for "cheap" ?

My plans are:
Asus P5LD2
Pentium D 820
Corsair VS1GBKIT533D2

I'm willing to spend more $$$ on the ram if need be but Im not really interested in spending money to get some crazy overclock, just trying to realize a modest overclock on modest components. If I'm on the wrong path, please show me the true value is in the DDR2 market.

Thanks in advance for your replies and for not mentioning AMD in them! :D
 
I bought 1gig of OCZ value ddr2 533 ram, o/c'd to 632mhz - more than happy with that. I just saw that the price on it had dropped £40 (in 3months!) so just bought another gig!

The timings aren't great, 4-4-4-8 at stock but i read on this forum that it's better to have more total memory than less memory & faster timings.
