The dude im buying off only has those two models. I am planning to OC, so you think the first would be better?

Anyone else? And particular reasons why?

 

[jcll2002]

youll be able to oc more with the pc4000 version...the first one you have there

 

[LYNCH HUNG]

It is cheaper than the PC3200, could that be right? Which would be faster on stock speeds?

The DDR500 is going to give you a bit more room to OC than the DDR400. YMMV but in most cases you'll be able to drop the timings down on the DDR500 a bit, especially on the OCZ brand. Do some google searches on it and you'll see the reviews that have been out on it. If you can run your cpu at 250+ FSB, which isn't too difficult for most Athlon 64's, you'll definitely benefit from the DDR 500, even though the timings are a bit higher.
