Upgrading: Mobo and Memory for E6400?

[DaneGuy]

I don't do any gaming any more but I do a lot of video encoding.

What's my best choice for mobos and types of memory? I've been out of the loop for a while so don't know much about current memory or mobos. I may try to overclock.

All suggestions are appreciated

To quote myself from other threads:

RAM with Micron D9 chips is what you want if you're OCing.

See the link in my sig, or just check out these pairs, as they all use D9s, & will all reach around DDR2-1000+ speeds.

I ordered them first-to-last in what'd i'd consider to be best to worst deals:

For mobo, i'd suggest the P5B-E revision 1.02 (has higher vdimm options), or the P5B deluxe.
