DDR2 memory for new P35 rig

[vchip]

2x1GB or 2x2GB?

I may end up running Vista on this box for DX10 support for Age of Conan.

I want good quality RAM that will not limit any overclocking.

Recommendations?

4x 1gb g.skill ddr2 800 hz. now at newegg for less than $115 for 2x 1gb. this ram was close to $300 5 months or so ago. $240 2 months ago. it has micron d9 slugs, and almost always clocks over 1100mhz. mine clock over 1200mhz. check the user reviews. almost universal 5 stars.

I thought it was better to go with 2 sticks instead of 4 for overclocking?

is ths memory good enough if you also intend to use this same mb with a Q6660? or would a OCZ OCZ2RPR10662GK DDR2 PC2-8500 Reaper Dual Channel 1066MHz 2GB Kit HPC Edition be better?

What motherboard are you getting exactly? It might be worth, also, taking a look at the manfacturer's QVL to narrow down your choices.
