2 sticks or 4 sticks of dual ddr2?

i run overclocked with 4 one gig sticks.. but even just running a pair of 2 gig sticks is likely to be not as tweakable as two 1 gig sticks..

buy two more 1 gig sticks and try and get the same brand and type.. u shouldnt have any problems..

new mobos have bios problems when first released.. memory incompatibility is the most common one.. the first new bios release usually imroves things..

4 vs 2 gigs

so i've got an issue, my 2 gig kit came back from rma today and all for 1 gig sticks work now but here is the problem. The memory is ddr2 1150 @5,5,5,12 2t stock. with only 2 sticks in i can do this but with 4 i cannot. In fact i'm only getting about 960Mhz @5,5,5,12 2t with all 4 sticks in. Now i'd like to run vista x64. am i better off with 32 bit windows @1150 with only 2 gigs or am i better off with vista x64 with 4gigs at 960mhz??

 

Which is better? 2 sticks 4 sticks?

So i'm looking to by some better ram, and i have a lot of options. But i wanted to know which is better, 2 sticks for a total of 4 gig (3.25 on xp) or 4 sticks

basically

2x 2 gig of ram
or

4x 1gig of ram

thanks for your help guys!

also if u could explain to me your reasoning, that would be helpful *Smile
