DDR2 2GB overclocking memory

Hi all,

I'm looking to move over to C2D from socket 939, so at the moment I've got a few questions. I'm looking to overclock the machine, and as such was wondering what memory to go for. I realise the Balistix 5300 seems to be the thing of choice at the moment, but is there any other memory for a similar/ lesser price that has around the same clocking potential.

Cheers

Honestly, I'm not really 100% sure. I'm looking at the Gigabite MATX P35 solution (GA-G33M-DS2R I think), and people seem to be reporting that at the moment it hasn;t got a 1:1 divider meaning better ram is need or something. Unfortunately as I'm used to the world of DDR, this DDR2 lark with dividers giving hight mem freq than FSB is confusing me abit...

haha, yeah, agreed mate, its a good name!

Would you guys say its worth paying abit more and getting the ballistix over say the Geil 6400?

Does the balistix 6400 clock aswell as the 5300?
