I'm looking at upgrading to a P4 3.00E on an ASUS P4C-800E-DX MB. Don't trash me on the selection etc.

What I want to know is if the Kingston Dual Channel RAM is a good choice?

Kingston Hyper X 512MB Dual Channel Kits (PC3200) - KHX3200AK2/512
Kingston HyperX Features:
Aluminum heat spreader for thermal diffusion
184-pin Unbuffered DDR Modules
333MHz settings: 2-2-2-5-1 (CAS Latency 2)
370MHz settings: 2-2-2-6-1 (CAS Latency 2)
400MHz settings: 2-2-2-6-1 (CAS Latency 2)
434MHz settings: 2-3-3-7-1 (CAS Latency 2) Dual-bank 512MB modules

Kingston is fine but IMO OCZ is better. I have OCZ pc-3700 GOLD rev 2 in my rig. It overclocks extremely well (from stock 233 to 250 plus!)
That translates to over 4 GHZ with my P4C 3.2!

The Kingston HyperX has known latency issues with the P4P800, although I'm not sure of the P4C800.

I have Kingston Hyperx PC3200 memory in my system, (Athlon XP/Nforce2 chipset) it performs as advertized at 400 MHz (2-2-2-6-T1) assuming 2.7v is applied.
