And I assure you, Newegg will have what you're looking for, AND give
you some variety.  Even if you're looking for mid-range pricing, there
are plenty of awesome dual channel kits that are heavily discounted on
newegg, $60-70 for 2x1gb shipped e.g.

I used to be really into overclocking..at some point I had a liquid
cooled setup (vs. air with fans) and all...unless you have good
hardware and a good cooling system, I really don't recommend it,
because things will overheat and not be very nice.

If you're contemplating it, DFI is a motherboard manufacturer that
sells mostly high end enthusiast-quality stuff that's absolutely
fantastic for overclocking (and gaming too, hehe).  I'm a huge fan of
their lanparty mobos...wanted to get one after the one in my gaming
box got screwed up (older DFI mobo, but it was fried by an ignorant
guest), but Fry's didn't have it and I really needed a replacement
that day, sigh.  Later, though.  Grin.

cheers,
