I'm buying a Q6600 and a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R and want to OC the hell out of it. I have good confirmation that NewEgg is shipping OEM Q6600s with GO stepping so I want RAM that will allow for good overclocking. Pretty much I'm sticking with 4GB of OCZ here's what it's down to:
4GB of PC8000 5-5-5-18

or
4GB PC6400 4-4-3-15
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227278
or
4GB PC6400 4-4-4-15
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227267
If I get one of the more expensive sets I'll buy this CPU cooler

If I get the cheaper RAM I may go with watercooling.
Any thoughts on which will yield the highest OC/performance?
