The PC2-8000 is the 1000mhz stuff.

Well which one would anyone recommend me getting as I want memory that is not going to cause problems with my overclocking on the Asus Rampage with q6600

to run a q6600 @ 3.6ghz you need 800mhz ram if your board does have the option to change multipliers

I have the top one in my mobo with Q6600, running perfectly at 1000Mhz without any issues.
