The Crucial Anniversary RAM is PC5300, but you know what it can do
The OCZ stuff is being priced very well. Checkout Overclockers.co.uk and their this week only offers also.
I have the Crucial Anni's. If you're waiting until the intel price cut to buy stuff, I'll certainly entertain an offer on them.

Man, with the AMD pricecuts this week, if your board was a skt AM2 you wouldn't have to move at all.

Nope, Crucial Anniversary's were a limited run of pc5300 with a Blue heatspreader as opposed to the Ballistix which are yellow. If someone is trying to flog PC6400 Crucial Anni's then beware, there is definitely something murky going on.
I am just using them at the stock freq. of 667 and 3-3-3-8 1T timings.
Have benched them at the same timings as the Corsair Dominators, PC8500 DDR2-1066 5-5-5-15. All within the spec'd voltage 2.0 - 2.2v.

Good resource here: OcUK Crucial Anni's thread

In fairness you should get near enough the same performance from Pc5300 Ballistix. PC8500 ram is cheaper now than what the Anni's cost last year (when PC8500 cost a LOT), so your search for the holy grail may be misguided
