Alright, soon I'll soon be on water it's time to get rid of this ram, I am able to oc it 20mhz and thats about it, my maxiumum fsb on my cpu so far is 246. I am looking to get some pc4000, but between kingston, corsair, OCZ, and mushkin the specs are nearly identical, there are minor differences in the cas latancies. I noticed on the kingston, it says 1T at the end of the cas, what does that mean? (3-4-4-8-1t) I'll post links to the ram....

thanks
 
also, that corsair ram , zip has for 20 bucks less, I might get that
 
Note: the following is an OPINION

Corsair or Mushkin are the better 2 in the list, with OCZ in the middle but still good, and Kingston lagging up the rear but also still good.

You might also consider Crucial Ballistix and PQI Turbo 2-2-2-5 is supposed to be great. I just ordered the PQI stuff last night.

1T is "Command rate" as seen in some BIOSes. In nForce2, it's called CPC (command per clock) and not many manufacturers have a BIOS option to change it, but some (like the NF7-S) do have modified versions to turn it off, which may allow you to increase your FSB (but WILL drop your memory bandwidth, so everyone has to test on their own whether the increase in FSB is worth it)
