Purchasing PC6400 RAM

[Larrymon2000]

So I'm upgrading my computer and pairing an E8400 with an Asus P5K-Premium. I'm not sure which RAM to get though, since I'm definitely going to try to push my CPU to 4Ghz on air.

Should I go with:

1) Mushkin PC6400 2GB Kit http://www.infonec.com/site/ma...odule=detail&id=341401

2) G.Skill PC6400 2GB single dimm CAS5 http://www.infonec.com/site/ma...odule=detail&id=352964

3) OCZ Reaper HPC PC6400 http://www.infonec.com/site/ma...module=detail&id=34235

Or is it best to get PC800 or 7200 RAM instead?

If you want to be sure of hitting 4GHz (as much as you can be sure about an overclock anyway) then opt for slightly faster RAM like DDR2-1000.

Agreed, you should get DDR1000 or faster so that you are guaranteed of not having a memory bottleneck with your OC.
