Would it be better to use DDR2-800 on a P45 mobo or DDR2-1066? Especially considering that I would like to overclock the Q9450 from say 2.66ghz to 3.2ghz. I'm just not sure about the stability of 1066 memory or if it is even worth the extra money.

I say go for a DDR2 800 RAM with 4-4-4-x or lower timings, because the difference between DDR2 800 and 1066 isn't much and DDR2 800 OCs very good too

Ok cool. Thanks. I'll stick with the cheaper ram then.

I think I'm gonna go with the Corsair XMS2 ram.
