Default Need help on which RAM to pick

I am currently compiling a list of parts for my next overclock project and I'm looking for an opinion on which ram to pick!
I had my eyes on a G.Skill F2-6400PHU2-1GBHZ set…
Will this be enough? I'm trying to set a new record!
So I want you guys share your opinion with me… what will be my best choice!

I personally would not get G.SKILL as they have a horrible time overclocking with AMD cpu's IMO. i would maybe get some Crucial XMS :http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145450

I'm not sure about brands but from what I've seen, DDR2 is not that picky for overclocking and for the 4-4-4-12 @ 800mhz that the G.Skills can do, I'd say is not bad and you could of course, clock 'em even higher.

My 8000ULs can do 800mhz @ 4-3-3-4 1.8Vdimm with the 1:2 ratio.

i kinda got the same question, so i dun want to start a new thread, but obvisouly with my current setup listed below, i won't be going for some new record or anything, but i DO want some better better ram than my current 2x1GB ddr533 cosair value selects.

my requirements are 2x1GB what do u guys suggest? faster speed with high latency(e.g. CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)TWIN2X2048-6400PRO http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145589) or low latency at lower speed (e.g mushkin 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) 996519 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146098)

my price range is under $350USD

cheers
