Im looking to get the best overclockability and timings with my E6300
Upgrading the mobo from gigabite ds3 to evga 680i

Since you can run the memory unlinked in a 680I I'd go with the DDR2-800 PC2-6400 Platinum XTC @ 183.99

Some of the 680I boards don't support anything higher than DDR2-800 anyways - keep that in mind too.

Happy Hunting!

I have this memory and it works great on my board. I can bench at 480 Mhz 1T on the memory 4-4-4-8 2.25v.

the one i was looking at supports up to 1200mhz basically whats the advantages of the platinum pc6400 does it overclock or perform the best? is there a performance increase if they are linked? I probably (99%) will be ugrading to quad in around september when the price drops a bit? I just want to get the best memory now so i am set untill the quad core comes in so i dont have to waste money on memory again and it doesnt matter if its 183 or 254 to me if its goint to make a long run difference work better with my new mobo and perform well with the quad and good for overclocking. if the platinum will do all that as good as the other options i will go for that tomorow

the platinum is good stuff but the 8500 is great stuff.the platinum probably uses promos or elpida ics which isnt bad but definately not as good as the d9gmh in the 8500s.id get the 8500 for the 6300.it would be a perfect longterm fit for your rig.
