The ram is fine up to a FSB of 400 which would be a very nice overclock for your E8400.
Memory will be fine for you to start overclocking with, you just will have to use a 1:1 memory divider ia all, at first your memory will be running underclocked, but the closer you get to 400 fsb the more it will be close to running at stock.
Now the fun bit, most memory will run a bit over stock, some not a lot some insanely higher, so thats where a lot of tweaking and testing comes into it, but hey thats the fun part right lol.
So basically you are fine upto 400fsb (1:1 divider) anything over that well its pure luck on both mobo and memory.

yea im just reading up on timings and ratio's now.. make sure i understand wot they do b4 i do it..
i know u lot said its nice n possible but i need to know how to set it to 1:1
and it is better to go up in increments yea?>
not just wack it to thr 3.5 - 3.6 << which is the best to try and get to keep[ the 1:1
