Got asus a8n premium mobo w/ x2 3800 cpu
Need to know what ram would you use out of my old stock or buy something new?
My choices are:

OCZ PC-3200 Limited Edition EL DDR modules will be shipping in 512MB and 1GB Dual Channel Kits as well as 256MB and 512MB single module configurations. Each module features an integrated copper heatspreader with mirrored platinum finish and is rated for CL 2-2-2-7 timings at 2.7 volts.

since the 3800 x2 seems to overclock well(I hope anyways)
will either of the above help me with the mobo I have, or should I look into something else.
I would like to get 2.4 or higher(=’s 240 fsb+ ???)
I have heard that low timings is more beneficial...I have the pc3200 running at 2-2-2-5 at 225 fsb at 2.9 v 1:1
the pc3700 hasnt really been used and has been just collecting dust
any ideas for me out there?
