I have just ordered a Foxconn Blackops X48 motherboard. I will be using my trusty Q6600 G0.

I just want some opinion on which speed of DDR3 ram I should go for. I am looking at the GSkill Ripjaws 2x2gb DDR3 1600 and the 1333. Any opinion? http://www.cclonline.com/product-i [...] cl9d-4gbrl I am in UK.

As low as possible... I am JUST willing to pay the £70 for the GSkill ones.

Yes, I am going to overclock.

Thanks.

That Gskill is good and here are 2 other good options:
OCZ Platinium 4GB DDR3 1333 with 7-7-7-20 timings:

and this Patriot model which is DDR3 1066 and has 6-6-6-20 timings:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/show [...] ubcat=1516

Both are very good and have good timings

I wouldn't bother with DDR3 on a FSB setup. Everything will slow down once your memory transfers onto the bus. If you have already bought a DDR3 mobo, either sell it and move back to DDR2, or just buy some DDR3-1333.

Get 1333Mhz modules with the lowest timings possible.
