Also, I think I will OC the Q6600 to 3.0-3.2...and I won't need to OC the ram...right? I just want a safe OC on air...I hear some do 3.2-3.6....but I rather be safe...3.0 is a good number or 3.2?
And is there a point in buying 1066 RAM is I don't plan to OC CPU that much? I mean...is there any other advantage to having a 1066 vs 800 RAM besides CPU OC?

no need to go 1066. I have a similar 3.2 oc on my q6600, i bumped the multiplier down to 8, set the fsb to 400. Now i'm running 3.2, and my ram is going at the rated 800. good speed, good heat control. life is good.

They call me crazy for yelling, alone in my room, at the computer screen. They just don't understand the game.
Indeed 800 is the way to go, plus the 35 boards dont seem to like 1066 too much. Honestly though you are not going to see the diffrence between the 2, you could benchmark it, but thats where it will stop.
