BTW, this will be my first build. I have always installed my own upgrades but have never built one from the ground up. Also I have only has a laptop for the past 2 years so this is going to be a BIG leap!

No, please don't state false information ReverendGadgetBoy.

The dominator TWIN2X2048-6400C4D will not overclock well at all.

The only memory on the market that overclocks well are those that use Micron D9's...
The dominator TWIN2X2048-6400C4D uses promo ics....which are really bad at overclocking and arent nearly as stable.

See the ramlist for yourself

About that list, they list 4 different kinds of D9 chips under the super talent i have, how would i figure out which kind i have? short of taking off the heatspeader and looking at the bare IC's.
