Adding more RAM to my system, a few questions...

Lord Kram · 6 Aug 2011 at 20:57

Been having some problems as of late with quite a slowdown on my system due to a few programs eating up my ram, I currently have this following system spec:
ASUS P8Z68-V Motherboard, Intel core i5 sandy bridge 3.3Ghz (OC to 4.6gz)
4 GB Kingston Hyper X Genesis Grey (2x2GB)
Nvidia Geforce GTX 460
I want to be able to get at least 8gb of ram into my system to help speed things up a bit and be able to run a few more things without quite a slowdown, thing is though can I safely buy a couple of the above Kingston ram sticks that are 4gb each instead of 2gb, and will I still be able to run my overclock at the same speed without too many problems?
Thanks

Ok thanks for the advice!

Is the kingston 4gb sticks a good buy? Or are there any better about for a similar price?
Just wondering as I don't want to buy the same ram and double my amount from 4gb to 8gb and still have slowdowns on this pc

Thanks guys
Gonna try and get these as soon as poss as its getting annoying trying to do more than 1 thing at a time with things taking forever sometimes, especially as when im playing WOW its eating up over 2gb of ram alone!

Yea ive installed 1 of those ram monitoring programs, and noticed WOW is using nearly 60% as when i close it through a right click method the % goes right back up, even then i still have 60% ish free as chrome/firefox uses quite a bit as well

Well just ordered the 8gb dual channel kit, and noticed the price has gone right down from £59.99 to £44.99
Bargain!
Will reply with results once I get it
