My spec is in sig, and was built by myself last November. I have been very pleased as the system has never missed a beat. I am now thinking of upgrading to Vista, but I will probably dual boot with XP to begin with.
I could also do with another hard drive and I thought that while memory is as cheap as it is, I might as well order another 2 GB of the Geil ULL 6400 memory. I know XP won`t see all of it.
Question is, will going to 4 GB have any negative effect on my systems stabilty? Reading around, there are obviously some issues with 4GB and some boards, especially when in a 4 x 1GB configuration. My memory is currently running on quite slack timings, (5-5-5-18) I think, as I left the memory side of things set to auto in the bios. Only settings changed were FSB, and PCI-E to 101. (I have a Xfi
)
Anybody have my board with 4GB? Any possible problems to look out for?
I am hoping that due to my very "safe" attempts at overclocking, I can just put the memory in without the hitch.
