Memory Selection, OCing Planned, Is this good!

Okay, quick and to the point, I am planning a new build, basically a Q6600 and the EVGA board listed here. I am new to OCing and I am reading mixed messages on ram selection. All I would like to do is get my Q6600 up to 3GHz, I didn't think that would be to extreme, I also figure it would be somewhat stable at that speed. Anyway, I seen this Ram on Newegg and figured it was good, but I am no Ram expert, or OC expert, so what I need is some advice. Will this do for my goals, is it good ram, any thoughts?

MoBo being used

Ram being considered
GeIL Ultra 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Oh, BTW, any other suggestions for RAM are welcomed!

Just bough some super talent ram use micro d9 chip and it was $143 including shipping for 2GB Kit DDR2 PC 8000

I don't know what's with the rebate in US... Is it the end of financial year for US?
but the ram is so cheap.... I would take something like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
or probably OCZ Flex if that cheap as well...

You won't believe that the average price of DDR2 2GB-kit PC6400 is around $200 in my country... phewww such a difference...

Great point, I do believe though, if I did the numbers right, they will support the overall system and my goal of driving the Q6600 from 2.4Ghz to 3.0Ghz. What do you think?

Awesome! Many thanks, I was figuring to go with Patriot just because they have some decent reviews these days, I was surprised to find some nice muskin ram up there, low latency, just high price tag, almost double. I will pass for now though!

Thanks again!
