4GB eVGA 650i

I currently have 2GB of OCZ Reaper in my eVGA 650i at the moment and I'm considering upgrading to 4GB and a 64bit OS for Christmas. I've heard of issues with the 6xx chipset and 4 sticks of RAM, can anyone confirm this? Apparently 4 sticks works if I set the speed to 667mhz or lower which I don't want to do.

I have 4GB in my P5N32-E.
Make sure your Mobo has a BIOS update which includes support for 4GB.... Also download the Windows Vista Fix which supports more than 3GB and you should be ok.

I'm on XP atm, and I'm not sure whether my current BIOS supports 4GB.

Ive got 4Gb in an Asus 650i and no real problems with 4 sticks

Would like to see someone else with an eVGA/XFX 650i before I take the plunge and buy another 2GB.

I've run the Gigabyte N650SLI-DS4 with 4 sticks of Ballistix PC6400 at 800MHz no problem. The early ASUS P5N-E SLI had a massive FSB hole between 700MHz and 799MHz when used with 4 sticks of RAM that was fixed in later BIOSes.

From what you've said guys I'll order this RAM. I suppose if I have any problems I can return it to OcUK?

Yip. Just don't rip the packaging.
