OK... can I not just get another 2 gig kit of the same to make up the 4 gigs rather than send them back. I know it is perhaps a bit more costly this way but that does not bother me at all. I presume that now I will be using a 64 bit OS rather than a 32 bit.
You can, but not only may it be more costly - but 4 RAM sticks puts much more strain on the motherboard memory controller than 2 RAM sticks. This can limit your overclocking and maximum RAM speeds.
Yes, you will want to use a 64 bit operating system these days (especially with 4GB system RAM + 512MB video RAM). What OS were you going to be using?
