The Dominators have a mail-in rebate which bring them down to the price of the Redlines.

Is this going to hamper any overclocking if I switch from the PC-8500 Dominators to the PC-8000 Redlines? I am thinking of picking up whichever kit comes in first.
Advice? |
The Mushkin kit should be fine and probably won't limit your overclocking unless you want to exceed 4.5Ghz with your CPU. The Xeon 3110 has a multiplier of 9 and default FSB of 333MHz (9x333=3GHz). The Mushkin RAM is rated to work up to FSB speeds of 500MHz, allowing for 9x500 = 4.5GHz.
