Thanks for your reply i will have to find mobo manual to make sure 800 mhz is ok. if not will buying some more expensive 667mhz memory be better for overclocking that my basic 667mhz i have now?

I wouldn't bother with expensive 667mhz RAM, just buy PC6400 or PC8500 if your mobo doesn't officially support it it will still run fine, just default to 667mhz speeds.
Even if your mobo only officially supports 667mhz RAM it should still overclock above that speed.

ok thanks for your help mate.
