The Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe with the Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black (multiplier
unlocked) version is a good combination for overclocking. As for memory,
most any Crucial, Corsair, Kingston, or Mushkin PC2-6400 DDR2 in 2 x 1GB
configuration has worked well for me with standard or near standard timings
and voltages. For PC2-8500 Crucial BL2KIT12864AA1065 is a good option.

PC2-6400 has a rated memory clock of 200MHz. Overclocking you might get
201-212MHz but you'll not see 240MHz. This is where the faster 266MHz
PC2-8500 is required.
