Is it okay to use 4 sticks of 1GB on an overclocked system. I currently have 2 sticks of Crucial Ballistix 1066 and would like to go to 4GB. Would it be okay to buy another two 1GB sticks or would I be better buying 2x2GB and trying to sell my 1GB sticks. My question isn't whether it will work, but whether it would have any adverse effects on overclocking and stability. BTW - It's the CPU being overclocked (an E6750 on 3 or 3.2GHz) rather than the RAM. The RAM is actually running under the 1066. Cheers, Nigel
There's no problem with using 4 sticks in a system whether it's overclocked or not though using 4 sticks instead of 2 puts a little extra strain on the memory controller and so you might need to up the MCH voltage a touch. I personally would sell what you've got and get a 2x 2Gb kit but it's up to you
This. It will work fine, however you wont get as high an overclock as you would with just 2 ram slots occupied
Yeah, when Windows7 hits the mat I suppose I'll do that then. Thanks. If I'm going to do that, what 1066 memory do you guys recommend then with o'c in mind?
