Like many others I'm sure, I'm going to be building a Conroe rig once the April 22nd price drops hit. The interesting thing I've been watching though lately is the ram prices- boy have they dropped! In particular, I was linked to these Super Talent ram sticks:

$104 for 2gb is insanely cheap in my opinion...which leads me to want to try using 4 sticks for 4GB of ram. However, I am still not entirely sure on how much of an effect this would have on my overclocking capability. I know past chipsets have had problems overclocking while all 4 ram slots are populated. I've seen some reports that this may not be the case any longer, but I am still unsure.
Like I said in the title, I plan on using an e6600, an Abit QuadGT, and of course, 4x1gb of ram. My overclocking goal is 3.6ghz on air (probably the Ultra-120 Extreme, as it is coming out in a matter of days and the IFX-14 seems to be due to be released in May now.)
Your opinions?
