I plan on buying either 2x 2g cards or 4x 1g cards,
I heard that it will be faster to get 4 cards that total 4g rather than 2 but im uncertain about that.
anyways this is the cpu I have

I would appreciate it if someone were to please help me out.

THanks.
 
Technically 2 sticks is slightly faster. In practice, you likely will not notice the difference.
 
hmmm well thats good to know. Im not sure where I heard this from but oh well.
but yea what kind of ram can I get for the mobo/cpu I chose?
 
Well it comes down to how much you want to spend. Those sticks are $75, you can get 4GB of DDR2-800 for $35. It's completely up to you, I was just saying you may not get the most out of the RAM you linked unless you do a little overclocking.
