2.8 @ 3.5, FSB 250 - look at PC4000. Doubt you'll be able to make use of PC4400, but maybe you'll get lucky. PC4000 should be more affordable anyway.

I have a 2.8c and guess they usually hit about 240fsb so I am going with OCZ PC3700 Gold Rev 2 due to this is probably best ram. This is due to pc4000 and up you will need to hit fsb of 250 and 2.8c may not hit that. correct me if I am wrong.

Hmmm now I'm worried. Would I be doing something wrong by getting the 4000 or 4400 over the 3700???? I though more was better...I mean at least it can't HURT right? and for future OCing I want to be able to be able to use this RAM...long term like.

Should I look at someone other than corsair? Basiacally am I makingt he best choice for RAM....If $$$$ isn't an issue what would YOU pick

Go with OCZ PC-3700 Gold Rev 2.0

There's alot more things that affect memory performance then advertised speed-ratings. The higher the advertised number doesn't mean it's necessarally better.
