New to overclocking but i have some grasp on whats going on. one thing that im having a little trouble with is memory. everything i read shoots everywhich way.

things decided so far list so far:
E6300 $180
GA-965P-DS3 $150

Looking for 1GB (2x512) that will allow me to get the E6300 to about 2.8 on air. seems i need ddr2 800 but i know there are power issues with this board. Looking to drop about 150 ish on mem if i can and remain stable. toss me some ideas. perhaps some newegg links if you can. i checked out a few n i want to see if your opinions match up. thanks

There are no power issues with this board. It will handle any memory power requirement on the market, and is a much more power stable board then all of the competitors. Its a great board for the money and the chip. I would say that you posted this question in the wrong forum, and should of gone with the Memory Section.

With that said, I recommend buying Corsair or Kingston memory that is on the list. 800mhz only, nothing slower, and 8500c5 will cost more then 2x your processor.

although there is nothing wrong with the ds3, i use it for budget conroe builds alot, to say "its more stable then all fo the competitors" is a big steaming pile....
