Hey all. I decided to upgrade my computer finally and I am getting

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128059 Mobo
Either E8400 or Q6600 for the CPU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233003 CPU Cooler
Now I can't decide about the RAM.
First of all I am going to use XP 32bit OS so I don't even know if 4GB is even worth it (even though the prices are really low atm)
Also, I want to overclock my CPU.
I looked at these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231122 they are perfect for my budget.
If I use 4 GB on my 32 bit OS, I know it won't recognize it all (Have a 8800 GTS 512), but will it still run in dual channel? I've seen some cases in which 3GB or so performs worse than 2GB. (I will play cod 4, crysis, world in conflict)
Thanks.
