Assuming I get my order of the chip/mobo combo, what RAM would you recommend? I am really pretty unfamiliar with how the Athlon 64's and their various system buses work so I'm not sure what I should go for.
I've heard that this board isn't that great for overclocking with a high FSB because of no working AGP/PCI locks, but you may be able to get up to 230. I've also heard that it might be better to just get a stick of PC3200 that will do good timings at the lower FSB's.
I'd rather not spend more than $250 on the 2 512 sticks.
The "kits" don't really matter since this system won't be using dual channel anyways, right?
I'd like to overclock this system as much as it can be on standard air cooling. What do you think of this RAM?

Supposedly, it'll do at least 250 FSB and also at lower FSB run good timings.
