 Thread : Overclocking CPU - What Ram should i get?
 
Profile: newbie
More Information

I plan on overclocking. My build will consist of:

cpu - intel allendale E2160 1.8ghz
mobo - GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L
vid card - MSI NX8400GS-TD256E GeForce 8400GS (256MB onboard) 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16

Im confused on what ram to get. There are so many choices and im fairly new at this. Can i get away with just overclocking the cpu and not the ram?

Im looking at these= http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820231098

Either of those two ram is good. I'd go with the Crucial though.

On that motherboard, if you OC the fsb, you automatically OC the ram. But don't worry, you can hit 1000MHz with that ram easily.

Not like you are going to get 500mhz FSB anyway. PC2-6400 will probably be fine.
