I'm thinking of upgrading to 4Gb RAM from 2Gb (and going Vista 64 of course).

Currently running an E8200 @ 3.36Ghz, 420Mhz FSB with x2 1Gb sticks of OCZ PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2.

Can anyone recommend a set of probably x2 2Gb sticks that would go well with this processor to maintain if not exceed the current OC?

(Sorry and more if this is better in the RAM thread).

well the problem with overclocking and ram is that you might have 4 sticks which will stress the motherboard out.. Going to 2X1GB sticks and 2X2GB should have no problem at all..

if you just happy with 3.6Ghz then any 2X2GB sticks at 800Mhz will be fine...

i recommend this because ive got it running at 1000Mhz

however this should be perfectly fine

I'm sticking with only using 2 slots, as my board has known issues when all 4 slots are taken.

Would this use more power than the ram I currently have?
