hey there- i got a 2-part question:

1) i'm putting together a conroe rig w/ a gigabyte ds3 and a e6400... can i get some ideas for the best ram i could get for under $250 (or right in that neighborhood)?
so far i like team 667 with the 3-3-3-8 timings and the mushkin extreme 667 w/ the 3-3-3-10 timings

2) so how much of a difference will i actually see from a 667mhz 3-3-3-8 ram compared to an 800mhz 4-4-4-12?

oh and fyi- i will be overclocking, just not trying to set any records.

Assuming the same FSB, less than 1% give or take.
