hello guys this is my set up

Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz @ 4.00GHz
Gigabyte EX58-UD5 Intel X58 Motherboard
Patriot Viper 6GB DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz DDR3
gtx560ti 2GB

im a keen player of bf3. just recently i have added a dual monitor setup.
when i load up battle field i get the message to disable windows aero? is this because i only have 6gig mem? in game usage goes to 80% if not higher and with the game running and wbsite browsing its at a good 60/70% usage.

what do you guys think? mem upgrade? im happy with my set up but any opinions would be super

thanks

edit - im also using triple channel memory, so i need 3 x sticks? or is 2 ok?

You could add this ram http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-007-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1390

That would give you 12GB.

i thought it was bad to mix memory? and that you should buy matching kits or something like that?

Hopefully i am wrong so i can also add to my 4GB of ram
