Help whit DDR buy

[bozicek]

I have two sticks in mind to buy.
They are:
Crucial Ballistix 3200 hand pick whit 2-2-6 Micron Chip
Patriot MP EP LL 3200 whit 2-3-2-5
They cost around 70$ and I wont go any higher.
I read here that Crucial is wery good choise. What about Patriot?

My main thing is to reach 250FSB.
Now I have some stupid Nanya and wont go over 220. I have OC A64 Newcastle 290FSB, so I need at least 240 RAM

PS: Plis no Geil, OCZ, Kingstone, high end RAM. No money do I have. Need to buy winter tiers for my car

Newegg has a great deal on the Crucial Ballistix, I believe they are $110 for a GB (2 x 512). Patriot seems to be good ram, and I believe it is the cheapest way to get Samsung TCCD chips. I would look into that, and just get whatever is cheaper.

Is all Patriot memory TCCD? From what I've seen +XBL seems to designate TCCD on BP PCB. The other lines seem to not be the case, as the defaults are 2-3-2-5. Anyone ever cracked the casings off their 2-3-2-5 patriots?

Ballistix Tracer, a Gigabyte of DDR500 is going for $20 less than the standard stuff.
