This is an Intel P4 system with Asus P4C800-E delux mobo with 1gig of Geil Ultra Platinum PC3500.

Do I get 2x1G kit

or

another 2x512mb kit?

Obviously i want to go with option 2 as it is cheaper, but would i need to get the same or any will do, if so which one? Also it is alright to run 4 sticks in an Intel rig correct?

Using all 4 slots may hinder any overclokcing you may be doing as it will put more stress on the controller.

Ideally you should get the same stuff, although I have run different ram in the past id imagine youll be less likely to run into problems if its the same.

P4 doesn't struggle with 4x512mb, if you can get some cheap go for it
