Ive been messing around with builds and such for days and days now, my eyes are probably bigger than my bank balance but im having fun so nvm lol.

Im making a gaming system and now have my eye set on pII 940 with x2 9750's, but im stuck between going 8gb ddr2, or having ddr3 mobo taking 4gb. im also slightly confused as to how much you can skimp on the price with ram, i mean theres ddr3 (2x2) 1600mz\ at nearly £200 , equally theres 4gb of 1600 for a lot less, any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Awesome thank you :) i saw the 4 ram slots, but i didnt know wheather 2 was ddr3 and 2 were ddr2 or something, since the guy above me said he could only use 4gig. I came on to ocuk with an idea of spending £800, now im spending £1300 lol, but i actually cant wait im like a kid at christmas. Ive spent a good few days researching and asking questions, and now i think im ready to order :) Ironically, my current psu died yesterday, i think its been sensing its imemenent replacement and decided to inconvience me by killing itself lol. So im stuck on a laptop xd

My final question is on http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-154-CS it seems like nice ram, but had 2 negative reviews. Also if it isnt too much trouble, could any1 explain how difficult it is to oc ram? for example from the 1066 to 1333 or 1600.

Thanks again in advance :)
