|  G-Skill Ram, Good For Overclocking? I Plan on making a cheap upgrade to a 5800+ x2 that runs stock at 3.0ghz, Arctic cooling, and some good ram to overclock it up to its limits. Right now, I have some generic ram, that I ran into many problems with when overclocking my 4000+, So I decided I need to get some better ram with the new processor If I want to achieve a high overclock. Is G-skill a good brand for overclocking? Had this set in mind Newegg.com - G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
