1. Ram overclocking, gives the most negligible performs gains. Same with memory timings also.
2. The processor of choice you have, won't need overclocked ram to run at the rated memory speed.
I would rather put more money into a better CPU then put money on high memory rated ram /w cool heatsinks.
I've had good success with Cosair Dominators. 1066mhz ram was able to run at 1200mhz stable. Yours may vary, but by most reviews and user input, Dominators always overclock well.
You do NOT need any RAM higher than DDR2 800. There is no real world gain from OCing the RAM. Keep FSB:RAM at 1:1 and you'll be fine. I'd go with some GSkill PI Black RAM (2*2GB DDR2 800)
Also don't get the Scyth HSF. Get a S1283. It really isn't worth the $60+. (If you want quietness, head over to Petras tech shop and get some Yate Loon fans).

Mushkin? Corsair? OCZ? Crucial? G. Skill? or any other suggestions?!?
looking for a 4GB kit of PC8500 and beyond, these are the following components that i have:
MB: ASUS P5Q-E and GIGABYTE EP45-UD3L
CPU: Intel Pentium E5200 @ 2.5 GHz, gonna overclock it
GPU: Sapphire 512MB HD 4870 Toxic Edition
PSU: Antec 500 Basiq Power
HSF: Scythe Orochi 10
Case: XClio A380PLUS
RAM Cooling: OCZ XTC Cooler
RAM: Unknown
it depends on the chip your ram uses
if it's d9gmh just give it a lot of voltage and it'll get you where you want to go
i think for running default corsair dominators and g.skills are quite good
kingston hyper x also

What do I need to change in BIOS in order to overclock RAM???
Overclocking memory gives negligible gains in real world apps
You do NOT need to overclock memory in order to overclock your CPU
Overclocking memory is a VERY good way to make your system unstable
------------------------------Which Chip? Well, it depends on which set of thieving b@stardz you choose to support: The ones who use insider trading to enrich themselves while running their company into the ground, or the ones who illegally pay vendors to not support the first group.
