Hi, I'm wondering what RAM (DDR2) to get for a new computer I'm making. Some specs for as follows:

Mobo: Asus P5Q-e
CPU: Intel e8400

What else do you need? I plan on overclocking to 3.6ghz (400x9) right away, and maybe 4ghz (445x9) later on w/ an OCZ Vendetta 2 HSF.

My budget for RAM is ~150 CAD, so nothing over that. Thanks. :D Also, I'm hoping for 4GB (2x2Gb) of RAM for Vista Premium 64-bit. Thanks in advance.

I've actually found some memory:

Corsair XMS2 Dominator TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF 4GB 2X2GB PC2-8500 DDR2-1066 CL5-5-5-15 240PIN Memory Kit ....for $164.99 CAD

Is this good?
