Looking for just a couple of 512k sticks to go with the new upgrades (more like system overhaul really. Probably end up building a new PC). Don't plan to overclock it much (0.5ghz, maybe), so I don't have to mess with memory latency and all that other fun stuff (stuff I don't know about :) ), however, I'd like to keep the option open so I want some good OC'ing memory.

Twinmos
and why would you not overclock when you get a board that is arguably the most overclockable board for AXPs
btw, just to let you know.... the 2500+s ($83) can do anywhere from 2.3GHz to 2.7GHz... overclocked and the 3000+ which is much more expensive is like a 2.1 something ;)
Corsair XMS or Kingston KHX

I have run my Corsair XMS3200C2 to 227 @ 5-2-2-c2 with ease! I recently did a L-12 mod to an XP1800 that I got up to 242 @ 6-4-4-c2.5.

Most XP3000 does over 2.2 on default volts. I would wait for the Barton 2600 though. That chip will be a king.
To the topic, Twinmos with winbond chips are good at a great price. A guy at amdforums is selling Buffalo memory and itīs Pc3700 has the BH5 chips garanteed. The 3200 has the CH5 which also is good but cant do as tight timings.

Go with some Buffalo, I still think newegg is sold out though so might have to look elsewhere. other than that Kingston HyperX or Corsair.
