Ive got 2x512 of g skill pc4400 LE ram and 2x512 pc4000 balistix running at 7,3,3,2.5 at 240 mhtz but ive noticed that since putting the g skill mem in my commant rate has gone from 1T to 2T, is this normal and is i run it at 1T would this cause probs? also is this mem setup usually stable (2 diff types of memory) or would a night of memtest show is this is stable or not? it seems to be fine at the mo but havnt ran memtest yet!

Running 1T with 4x512mb simply doesn't work I don't think with 4x512Mb so you're stuck with 2T come what may

The performance hit is around 2-3% in real world usage so its not awful.

Mixing and matching is usually fine, you might want to run half an hour of memtest test 5 looped or some prime95, just to be sure, but if you're not having any problems then I wouldn't worry too much

ive posted exact same thread, ive done a bit of research and found this

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/athlon64-e3-mem_4.html

use 2 x 512mb, select your best ram from those two kits and then sell the other or whatever

hope this helps

EDIT Scrap what i just said, that article is quite old
