My current ram:

Name: Physical Memory 0, 1
Description: PC2-5300
Vendor: Kingston
Capacity: 2x1024 MB
Max Bandwidth: 5.3 GB/s
Part Number: 99U5316-010.A00LF
Serial Number: C2E0D88
Data Width: 64 bits
Bus Frequency: 333.333 MHz
Slot Location: Slot 0,1

I want this

Will i notice a difference? could i overclock my bus better?

if im not really gonna see a performance increase, i dont wanna spend the money.. (rather get an eighth of ganja)
 
That DDR2 1066 will really come in handy when overclocking. You won't be able to use both of them together. The faster RAM will slow down to match the weaker RAM.
 
yeah ill throw away my kingston's if i get these. So about overclocking If i go any higher than 203 on my bus, the blend test fails after 13 minutes, rounding error. But small ftts passes (tested for 4 hours)

Will getting pc2 8500 ram alleviate this problem?

it very well could. And don't throw away the old ram, sell it.
 
Could we have some system specs please? We can't really give an opinion unless we have them.
 
Kuma 7750+
Asus 790gx
Kingston 2x1GB PC2-5300


EDIT:
Also theres another set of ram i am looking at: OCZ SLI

its default voltage can be 2.35, which means it'll overclock like mad. but why are there so many bad reviews? is it just because those people are dumbasses or is it really a bad product?
