I have the new 955 chipset Asus with a intel 3.0 530J and 533 DDR2 memory.
Currently I am running at about 3.5 ghz (memory at 580). To be honest I don't see a big improvement over my 2.4b which was running at 2.6 of course I haven't encoded any movies yet.

For cooling I have the Thermaltake CL-P0114, the temp of the CPU hasn't risen above the stock settings (heck of a nice heat sink for $50)
 
You might hit 3.8-3.9ghz w/ better cooling. I think you will notice a HUGE difference in games / video/audio encoding / and even basic multitasking. Everything else sounds good. If your ram hits the wall, you can lower the divider to something lower.
