Right im building an FX Rig on an Asus SK8N with a 9800XT graphics card to throw in!

Now this rig is going to be designed as a ultra fast gaming rig (with Overclocking potential) but i need/was hoping to get some input on the memory that people would choose. Ive used Twinmos for a while and that has been great but this machine will need 1gb of something sweet so can someone give me ideas to what you would believe is best ATM?
 
I am pretty sure Fx's need ECC memory, Corsair has some XMS PC3200 ECC Here
They have 1Gb sticks too. You may want to confime the ECC thing but I am almost posative that they need it. That is probably the best memory you are gonna get for it too, ECC makes it a lot harder to OC- But I think they are only OCable via the multiplier too right? So that wouldn't be a problem really. That is what I would get if I have been informed correctly about the FX and such.
 
Yeah im pretty sure its EEC or bust.

THe asus board supports multiplier changes and i realise the problem of EEC memory and oc.

Its for a review pc for someone and utilising a new cooling system (will post stuff when it ready to roll a bit more)

Thanx for the links :)
