Best Memory to OC a E8400/8500?!

[dbrimberg]

I am in the final stages of building my machine; and I need to decide on which memory to use for OC'ing the E8400/E8500. So if anyone can provide some insight as to which 2x2GB DDR2 (800/1000/1066/1200 and brand )memory would be the bestest for this application I would appreciate it. Money isn't a very big factor in my decision, so link me up guys!

FYI..currently I have my eyes on OCZ Reapers ddr2 800 and ddr2 1066...I also heard the OCZ Titanium Alpha VX2 is great too. Opinions...

If you are planing on getting RAM natively higher than DDR2 800 be aware that there will be compatibility issues. Many users reports and my personal testing has shown that there is a very good chance you will run in to issues with RAM higher than DDR2 800, such as DDR2 1066. I recommend you get quality DDR2 800 RAM and run them at 1:1 ratio or overclock the RAM. This issue dose not apply to DDR2 800 RAM that has been overclocked.

I recommend Crucial Ballastix DDR2 800.
