Need a ram reccomendation for this board.

Crucial Ballistix/Tracer PC6400-PC8500
Corsair XMS/Dominator PC6400 and up
Buffalo FireStix PC6400 and up

I've used Crucial Tracer PC8500, Corsair Dominator PC8500, and Corsair XMS PC6400 and they all clocked up to 1100mhz without much fuss. The Tracers run a bit hot, but in a 2x1gb setup its fine. I've heard good things about the firestix which I believe are also micron D9's.

What CPU are you planning on getting? For example a 4300 or 6600 with 9x multiplier doesn't need a super good ram to oc, unless you just want fast ram.

E4300/E6600 9x multi
9x400 = 3600mhz and ram can be at 800mhz


E6300 7x multi
7x514 = ~3600 and ram would be at like 1028mhz

Of course you can adjust the divider of the ram too.
 
Those would work great, but shop around you can find them for less.

Also check out the corsair dominator's and I'd get which ever one is cheaper. Or if a tie I'd give the nod to the corsair dominator's because they come with better cooling. Unless you have a window on your case to see the tracer LED's.

Also consider that the balistix/tracer PC6400 usually overclock up to 1066, so if they are cheap you can just get those.
 
Any Ballsitix that you can find cheap will do. They jsut bin em differently but they can pretty much do the same thing if they're d9
