adding more ram and need some advise

Hi,

I am adding an SSD to my system, so while im formatting i planned on installing windows 64bit so i can add some more ram.

I currently have 2x2gb Corsair XMS3 and wanted to add andother set of the same to make it 8gb.

I tried adding some before but my pc would not boot, i was told this is because i was running windows 7 32bit instead of 64bit. The motherboard was up to date etc and i altered some ram voltages as suggested previously but it wouldnt have it.

I am using a Gigabyte H55M-UD2H Motherboard currently with the above ram installed and an Intel i3 540 clarkdale.


So my question is, Do you think it's worth adding 4gb like i tried before or just buy 8gb (2x4gb) to save any hassle?

The difference is only £10 or something, i could even buy cheaper ram as i don't intend to overclock.

I was told it would benefit me having 8gb for games like wow,swtor and bf3. I havnt had many in game issues except while loading etc but thats why im getting the SSD to improve loading times for windows and games.

i guess i could just get the SSD and add more ram later if i feel like i need it.
