Hey,
I am going to buy a desktop with these specs:

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor E7500 (2.93GHz, 1066FSB, 3MB)

Genuine Windows(R) 7 Home Premium 64bit Edition (English)

4GB (4X1GB) DDR2 800MHz SDRAM Memory

500GB SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive with Native Command Queuing

ATI Radeo(TM) HD 4350 512MB DDR2

now, i want this computer to do school work etc, but i also want it to play games like rail simulator, call of duty and GTA IV etc. The RAM at the moment is 4GB (4X1GB), but i have the choice for that or 4GB (2X2GB). Which one is better? if i get the 2X2GB, does that mean that if i want to later on, i can put more RAM in?

Cheers

I think you should look at the motherboard guide manual and see what's the maximum memory it suports.Maybe other one can give you a more "direct" and helpful answer.Sorry for my ortographic mistakes...i am romanian

Correct, it depends on the motherboard you choose.

If 4Gigs is the maximum the motherboard can use, then it doesn't matter.

If your motherboard takes more then 4Gigs of RAM, then I would get 2x2Gig sticks so you can add more later, as you suggested.
