Which Memory?

[guv]

I currently trying to build a new PC.

I own an ASUS PC-DL Deluxe motherboard and two 3.06 Xeon 512Kb 533FSB processors, 2x160Gb SATA HDD in RAID 1 configuration, Antec True 550W PSU, LG DVD writer, Lain-Li case and hopefuly a GeForce 6800 Ultra.

What I need advise on is the memory to use. The motherboard supports Dual DDR333, I will be looking at overclocking the PC. Whats the best memory to use?

Can I use DDR400 or faster in a motherboard that supports DDR333?

go with corsair. corsair xms.

now are you sure you want raid 1? raid 1 slows things down, but its great if 1 hd dies. raid 0 speeds things up, but it sucks if you loose a hd.

mobo: Abit AN7 @ 442 FSB
CPU: AMPm 2600+ @ 4100+
ram: corsair xms @ 1:1 running 2.5-3-3-6
HDD: two raptors on raid 0
vid: 9800pro @ 467mhz GPU and 834mhz ram

Since it's the 875P chipset, it probably doesn't have any special memory requirements. PC3200 should operate fine at PC2700 speed on that board, and allow you pleanty of room to overclock, using the PC2700 setting and raising the bus speed.

Thanks for all your advice I'll try the XMS and see how it goes.
