ok guys... at the mo, i have 2 sticks of 512 ocz gold 667 mhz ddr2 ram...

im looking at getting another gig, and i understand 3 sticks dont work, so its gonna hve to be 2 or 4.... i dont wanna buy 2x1gb sticks, so is it ok to run 4 512's?? will it make it slow having to access 4 sticks??

i have a asus p5w dhd eluxe and intel e6400 if that helps

i think a general consensus would be that running 4xany size can be problematic
best to 2x max

I've got 4*512 DDR400 and it has never caused me any problems

What ram/timings you got?

I'm running 4GB (4x 1GB Geil ULL DDR2800) modules in my DS4 without any problem.
I only took this route because all 4GB of RAM only cost me £218+vat (offer price long gone now I'm afraid) and 2GB modules are just far too expensive at the moment.

anyone know if the price of ram is gonna come down?? in the 2/3 weeks since ordering my pc, the same ram has gone up like £20

Doubt it - OEM's are still buying up lots of stock in Taiwan for Vista installs next year. It's not going any higher though, so that's a good sign
