as title , i am running 800 atm 2 gb on my q6600 and will be getting a 3870x2 once released just need a new mobo to replace my gigabyte ds4 to over clock the quad core

would 1066 mhz memory be better to buy? to replace my 800 xms2 corsiar c5?

on mild over clock the xms2 pc6500c5 has givin me the page fault in non page fault area bsod a few times and thats at 840mhz so i take it the xms2 stuff is crap? if the 1066 is not worth it over say the 800 what 800 mem would be best for overclocking , and is it better to get 2 x 2gb or 4 x 1 gb sticks?

i was looking at this and thought 4 x1 gb sticks to replace mt xms2 ?

The ram in my sig is 1066 and i am never buying it again because its just 800mhz with 1066mhz written on the box.

Save your self money and stay with 800 just give it more volts :) I can get 1200mhz at 2.4V
