You don't even need a 400MHz FSB (DDR2-800) to do 3.0GHz with an e6400, so any value ram rated for DDR2-800 and probably most rated at DDR2-667 will do what you're asking.

madman is correct

I got 3.8 out of ddr2 667 corsair value ram with a 6600

You should EASILY hit 400fsb even with value ram,my overclocking team friend his 3.6 on air with a 6400

cheers
