800 or 1066 RAM for overclocking E6550...

[Mrbumbum]

Which is better, ddr2 800 or ddr2 1066 (both 2x 2gb sticks) when paired with a E6550 and Asus P5Q Pro, with the intent to overclock as high as possible.

Please suggst me some ram of that speed in a 4gb kit (2x 2gb)

Price is not an issue as long as it dosen't exceed $110.00

If price isn't an issue, and your motherboard can do 1066 RAM, then you could go that route. Ultimately though, I think most folks agree that 800Mhz is plenty for most gamers.

800mhz is good enough, since you'll probably find a limit pretty fast because of the 7x multiplier.

+1 for DDR2 800. Get these:

I heard they OC quite well and runs at 4-4-4-12 @1.8-1.9v compared to 2.0-2.1v for most other 4-4-4-12 RAM.

lol nice shadow...

+1 for 800Mhz RAM, most 1066 kits are just factory oc'd and overvolted 800 with a big heatsink strapped to it. :lol: save some money and DIY!
