as an extension of this thread, i'm about to finaly buy but i'm lost on how to know if my ram is compatible or not with my mobo/cpu.
my cpu will either be the E6600 or the E6700, and which ever one i get, i want to overclock it.
for the ram and board i have no idea. i need 4gb of ram preferably in 2gb sticks, and the board has to support sli and 8gb of ram. are there any "standard" (most prefered by overclockers) combinations of ram/cpu/mobo?
hoping to finaly order this week so any sugestions are appreciated.

i meant what ram as in, what brand is the most stable, what timings, what timings they should be once the cpu is overclocked, etc
heard some boards are really picky about that
