E6300 What Memory Confusion

[2StepSteve]

Hey all, Im abit confused about RAM speeds and their advantage.. im gonna buying in a couple of weeks:

E6300
Gigabyte DS3 mobo

Im not sure what RAM to go for. I want 2gig and ive seen that the geil value 5300 and the geil 6400 (orange heat sink) ppl here are mentioning. What I dont understand is ppl are getting good OCs on the slower RAM it seems. Is there any reason why I need to get 6400 speed ram?

Ive made some mistakes in the past with buying RAM which has crippled my OC'ing ablity so I do want to get good RAM but I don't want to spend more than I have to.. im on a budget! Id be happy with an OC of around 3.1 Ghz

Thanks for the help

Thanks for that I see

Do u find it to be good RAM Papa Lazarou? As ive seen in the geil 6400 thread theres mixed ideas about it.

To me its a lot of money for RAM 150 odd quid, could be used for a future GPU upgrade!.. But I suppose I shouldnt skimp on RAM like I have done in the past otherwise i'll be disappointed again.
