Basically right now I am using this Corsair PC8500 memory:

I have OCed my E8400 to 3.6GHz, so memory is running at 400MHz. I really do not plan o pushing the system any farther.
Now I am thinking of installing Vista 64-bit and adding one of these PC6400 memory to the comp for total of 6GB of RAM (basically same memory with different heat spreaders) and keeping my 400MHz memory overclock:

or

As I understand it, Corsair PC8500 DDR2 is same as their PC6400, but it has been pre-tested to run at up to 533MHz FSB. Since I do not plan on pushing my system past 400MHz FSB, these memory modules should play nice with each other. Or is that not the case and my upgrade is not a good idea?
