its good to know what you are putting it into to better answer the question, computer model or motherboard.

Some good brands are: Corsair, Kingston, OCZ, Patriot, and my very own G.Skill.

I typically get Kingston. Lifetime warranty and very good prices.

Corsair is very good but a bit pricey. Kingston is the best concerning price. Never used anything else.

Don't know, but sure others will reply, you could also check Google for reviews

But in regards to your Title: What is the best Duel Channel RAM?
There is no such thing

But Motherboards can have dual channel Ram slots (generally all do now)
Which allows you to put 2 same ram cards amounts in, and the motherboard will then speed up the access by using dual channel

I was getting those because they can be overclocked, or am I wrong?

I believe they can though. Also, should I maybe get a memory cooler or do you think they will stay cool?

It's really no big deal, but I'm just curious.
