A ram question

[htxsouthc]

Should i get (2x1gb) or (4x512)? or does it not even matter?

If your motherboard can take it, and you can afford the extra money, I'd go with the 2x1GB sticks... (easier for upgrading in the future...)

The less sticks you have the better. Lot less clutter.

it really doesnt matter if you go 4x512mb or 2x1gb, thiers really isnt a big perfromance difference(if you dont believe me look here http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2006/02/15/memory_-_is_more_always_better/1.html). but 2x would be better for the upgradability.

btw use the search feature next time. this has been done soo many times b4.

yea, 2x1gb would be better.. in fact i think im gonna be doing that myself soon unless i decide to just add a gb of CXMS

If your motherboard supports dual-channel RAM then I would go for the 2 sticks as configurations with more sticks generally aren't supported for dual-channel operation. Might as well get an extra speed boost while you are there eh?
