P35-ds3R+e6750, what ram for 3.4-3.6 oc?

[Pintail]

Hi folks. Decided on-

Gigabyte P35-DS3R
Intel C2D e6750

Looking for a 3.4-3.6 stable overclock. Which 2x1 gig ram will do?
This review http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/11/08/dual_vs_quad/

recommends Geil memory. Wouldn't this work as well? http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=21778&vpn=PDC22G6400LLK&manufacture=Patriot ?

Or any other RAM recommendations? This is for WinXP for at least 6 mos.
Also, CPU cooler recommendations welcome!
Thanks so much in advance!

Patriot is good, also Crucial Ballistix.

For CPU cooler Zalman 9700, Thermalright Ultra 120, Tuniq Tower, Scythe Infinty.

Make sure you measure your case to make sure they fit.

yes, the Zalman9700 looks great, but pretty expensive!

Thermalright Ultra 120 is the best thing round atm if it fits in your case. and youll need to buy a good 120mm fan with it.

To get something close to 3.4-3.6 on a e6750 you will need the clock at 425+ which to run a 1:1 would be 850mhz ram so id suggest getting some 1066 stuff at least that way you know the RAM will hit that speed cause thats what its rated for. Where with the Patriot you suggested youd have to OC the RAM as well (making it an unknown). Id find some Crucial, OCZ or Patriot 1066 stuff.

Thats a bit of a price jump, eh?

I have a 6750 at 3.4, using Corsair XMS pc6400, ram is on auto voltage.

Very stable on a 680i board.

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro is a great little cooler up to about 3.2 on this cooler GO stepping chip. Bout $25ish online.

What FSB have you got that one... RAM must be stretched to the limit i would think
