I want to upgrade my RAM to 8G but I don't know if it's better to buy 1066 or 800 DDRII memory. OCZ I have now runs very stable with CPU overclocked @3.15 with the stock cooler. Because this is an editing machine I need the stable to go on and keep on having my CPU @3G at least.
I have seen those:
OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 Reaper HPC Edition and I can buy 2x 2x2G sticks. Would this be ok?
OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB DDR2-800 Ram Kit. Or better this one?
The price difference is very small.

Thanks to all.
I always had great luck with G.Skill memory and the IP35 Pro, I had G.SKills at both speeds your talking about, and they worked great.

Also: has anyone attempted updating the storage controller firmwares (Intel Matrix Storage and JMicron) inside of the IP35-Pro motherboard bios?

At this point, seeing how they are going COMPLETELY out of business, I think what you have available now is about all your ever going to get.
