I was wondering if I should get new memory for OCing purposes.

Any suggestions of what memory to get if anyone thinks I will nee better memory for OCing?

No not really. You can still run asynch just fine using the 166 / 133 divider. Unless you want to run synchronized and have the money to burn I wouldnt bother.

Well you can always OC like Sen has said asynch w/divider. But I think you should run it 1:1 as high as you can go with those timmings and call it a day. Dividers are just like loosening your timmings. Yes there is better memory for OC'ing. But I really don't know if you need it.

Your memory can handle about 225-230 HTT @ 2.85 vdimm running 1:1. After that you'd have to loosen the timings or use a memory divider.
