What RAM would fellow OcUKers suggest to go with an overclocked 2160 CPU. I'd be aiming for around 3GHz so would need something to handle the job. Ideally I'd like the RAM to handle this with ease so I'd know it was the CPU/BIOS settings that are limiting my overclock.
Recommend me some RAM - C2D e2160

i got 3 gb of cheapo kingstek ram, pc4200 works ok at 333 mhz nothing more though, but gets me 3ghz on the e2160 all day long. I would go for something a little more expensive like the corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-5400C4 TwinX (2x1GB) though tbh - faster speed.

Yeh nice and cheap.
Not on this week only anymore as I've decided to wait. However, I've found it £1 cheaper than 'This week only' at another etailer

I've got the GeiL that was on offer last week, have my e2160 sitting nicely at 3ghz with the ram at 800mhz 4-4-4-12 2.1v

No need for anything other than the OCZ on T.W.O:-

I'd be impressed if an e2160 was held back by that (you would need to be going for >3.6GHz)

Yes exactly, same as my GeiL. Just to run the ram at stock your cpu would be at 3.6.
So the OCZ is perfect !
I would have got that ram if i waited another week but its only a couple £ difference
