I'm going to get an e8400 and am hoping to overclock to 4.0+. With it, I am getting this motherboard:
Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3R Socket 775 Intel P35 + ICH9R Dual-Channel DDR2 1200(oc)/1066/800/667Mhz GigaLAN 7.1-Channel Audio Support 1600Mhz FSB (oc)

It says that it supports 1200Mhz ram (oc). does that mean I need to buy 1066Mhz ram and oc my proccessor which will in turn raise that 1066Mhz? Or can I buy 1200Mhz ram and still overclock (with imrpoved performance)?
