I have a ABIT AV8 Socket 939 VIA K8T800 Pro Motherboard with an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice Processor. I want to overclock to 2.6 Ghz or higher. What memory would you recommend?
 
to get to 2.6 you will probably need to run a divider on the memory
right now i'm running at 2520 (280 x9) and my ram is running at 230 on a 166/200 divider. I'm using a kingston 2x512 kit right now.

It may be hard to find inexpensive memory to run at say 280, highest stock rated ram i've seen is 250 (DDR500), but of course with more volts you can get it higher.
 
ocz 3200 el is probably what you will want to get.. get the 2-2-2 and loosen the timings on it to like 2-3-3 to get 260mhz

edit: get some with bh-5, or tccd, or tcc5.. that will do the trick
