Which is better memory for use with

Ds3p board
4300 or 6320 C2D processor.

Would be overclocking the processor to around 3.2ghz+ (if able to)

OR
Crucial Ballistix 2GB Kit (2x1GB) PC5300 CL3 2.1 V

I would go with the Ballistix memory, should clock fairly high and is quite cheap.

I would, too. You should be able to get their frequency up to PC2-8500 speeds with ease.

Agreed, you really can't go wrong with the Ballistix. They run at 2.2v rather than 2.1v though. Just in case you were looking to run them at 2.1v.
