ok heres an update
got 2 sticks (lets call them pack 1) working fine, op system working and stable so i put pack to in aswell, and first boot up, it bluescreened.
ran memtest on it and litterly dozens of errors, didnt stop to count but probably close to 100 if not more.
so took back 2 back out and ran memtest on pack one. no errors, ans system stable again
so i thought remove pack 1 and put pack 2 in on its own (in the correct place for just 2 sticks of course)
and the result... bios wouldnt even get past its own pre tests.
seems pretty obvious to me that pack 2 is faulty, so i am going to have to take it back to overclockers and see what happens
and body disagrea?

so... as I understand it, pack1 runs fine, but when you add pack 2 (in addition) to pack 1 you get memtest errors?
Try upping the NB volts a notch, but you will probably find that your PSU is on the limit (cheap one by your own admission)
if i've read it wrong, and you are trying pack 1 and pack 2 seperately, then RMA the faulty pack, they are not working at stock speeds, hence are faulty.

yeah thats right pack 2 wont even get past the motherboards self test when it is installed on its own.
I will take it back on thursday, which is actually the 7th day so should be able to swap it straight over without the 4 day testing period?

ATX is ATX so yes.
Can't see why you'd put such a big PSU on such an old system.
It won't use more power, you just dont need to spend so much. (unless you have a new build in the pipe)
As long as mobo is compatible with Intel ATX12V v1.3 spec or higher should be fine (older not supported because they require -5V rail wich these newer PSU don't have).
& the OP was inquiring about 20>24-pin adaptor for his older PSU. If other way round, PSU's main power connector can separate the 4-pin to become a 20-pin configuration
took the memmory back, and after testing they confirmed 1 stick was faulty, tried to make mne wait 7 days but wasnt having none of that.
any way, its up and runnign with 4 gig now (now to find somethign that will make it feel worthwhile)
plenty of room to overclock now, which is somethign i have always been quite firmly against, but been thinking about having a go at it. maybe i will step over to the dark side
thanks again everybody for your help

ok
sorry to be a pain.
I have my system running now,
which is E6400, ASUS P5N-E SLI
4 x 1 gig geil memmory
Windows X64
the old system was the same cpu, an asrock dual vsta and 2 gig of ddr 400, one stick of which was showing different timings that the other with cpu-z so i guess it was slihgtly faulty (they were bought togetehr)
Now with that upgrade you woudl expect to see a definate increase in performance, but i am seeing no change at all.
geekbench is still giving me the same score
that sanctuary demo is giving me more or less the same (canbt find th paper i wrote my old score on so can be precise)
and the photoshop speed test (which I beleive is very memory intensive and shoudl be a good test) is just 4 second faster
Would any body have any kind of idea where i might be going wrong please.
thanks

memmory is running at 667
I did expect to see a difference, going form 2 gig of ddr400 to 4 gig of ddr 677
I was goign to wait until i get a sata 2 drive before putting vista on, but i maybe vista will show more of a performance increase than x64? or is 4 gig just a waste no matter what you do?

Ah I thought it was the PC6400 version 
Yeah Vista has far better memory management that x64 XP. It's a bit snappier in x64 Vista, but you only really notice the difference when you start running software that pushes the system over 2gb.
