The Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe with the Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black (multiplier
unlocked) version is a good combination for overclocking. As for memory,
most any Crucial, Corsair, Kingston, or Mushkin PC2-6400 DDR2 in 2 x 1GB
configuration has worked well for me with standard or near standard
timings and voltages. For PC2-8500 Crucial BL2KIT12864AA1065 is a good
option.


Brett, not meaning to rain on your parade but,
Is'nt that mobo only rate to take pc2-6400 ?
If so is it possible to actually use pc2-8500?
Cheers
