Ram recommendations for my setup.

Like many PC builders, RAM is somewhat of a blurry area when it comes to building their systems, and I am no different.

I know every component that is going into my system, expect ram

All running on vista 64, and I will be using my current 250G hard drive and my 480watt PSU.

I will be overclocking my e8400, trying to hit the 4 - 4.2 mark using the Thermalright Ultra-120 heatsink.

I am looking for 4g or ram in the 2x2 format, but I really don’t know what to look for. I have never OC ram, but I am willing to try. I use my pc for typical stuff (gaming, surfing, heavy programs), so I am sure there are many options for me.
My biggest questions I guess is should I be looking at PC6400 or PC8500. The price is not that much different, and some friends have told me if I am going to be OC'ing my CPU that high I should look into PC8500.

Thanks guys.

yeah, in order to hit 4GHz, you'll need 444MHz FSB. the lowest memory ratio is 1:1, so your ram has to be at least 444Mhz, potentially higher if you get your cpu to go faster. i suggest some pc8000 or pc8500 2x2gb kits, like the g.skill that everyone loves so much
