G.Skill 2GB DDR HZ PC4000 & Opty 146??

Is the above memory well known for overclocking/running @ high speeds?
I've just managed to buy a Asrock Dual SATA board and a 146 CABNE 0545 chip.. now I just need some memory.

Anyone have any other suggestions before I buy this stuff?
Also whats the performance difference between CAS2.5 and CAS3, as this ram is CAS3..

Thanks.

Theres been quite a few threads on these sticks of ram. From what ive read they are basically a good choice for overclocking because you can keep them on a 1:1 divider.

As far as i know they are pretty good clockers too and you could probably get the cas down to 2.5 or even 2. hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick response!
I think I'll be gettin some of these pretty soon then..

Ive just this second read this thread. It looks like tighter timings are more important than the frequency. You might want to look at the ZX's too

Is there a 2GB ZX batch available??
I've seen the 1GB ZX's on OCUK.. but can't seem to find the 2GBs..

*edit*

Just seen the 2GB ZX 3200 batchs..
So its better to go for 3200 over 4000 in this case?!?

Have a quick gander at that - it certainly puts this high frequency/tight timings debate into perspective.
