I wouldn't bother unless you are loking to spend money. The performance increase really wont be there.
 
well i have noticed that i have a money spending problem lol!!!

its just i get adjitated knowing that my board supports so much that i havnt got!

ive just bought a 8800gt and i know ill be looking at ati in crossfire soon... yes its an addiction lol

i just want to know that everything is good, quick and there is nothing holding it all back
 
I'll take some of that cash of your hands. :D

I believe having all 4 ram slots filled as opposed to just 2 will be somewhat slower, but I don't think it is that noticeable. Certainly not worth spending that extra money.
 
^ If all the sticks are identical, probably not. The memory controller might have to loosen up on timings/clockspeed, but I doubt that would cuase any significant performance deficiency. It is true, though, that mixing sticks that have different latencies/voltage requirements/stock speeds can cause the latencies to go sky-hi and clockspeeds to plummet.
