Need New RAM

[LiamC]

2GB of RAM just isnt cutting it for Win 7 Ultimate so im looking to upgrade.

I've currently got 2 x 1GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800.

Im looking for 2 X 2GB Sticks but i have a few questions.

Is it better to have 2 X 2GB sticks or 4 x 1GB sticks? They will be getting overclocked so i need maximum stability.

Am i better getting the DDR2 1066 RAM? Even though it will be limited to 800mhz does this mean it will handle the OC better?


Does anyone recommend some Decent RAM? Budget ~£100.



Thanks.

It is more stable to go with two sticks of 2GB, as it puts less strain on the memory controller.

This is the kit I would go for. Some of the 1066MHz kits are available even cheaper than this - but your board doesn't seem to support 1066MHz (800MHz being the max), however - if you want to try a bit of memory overclocking, then this kit looks good.

Do you have the 64 bit version of windows 7?
