I have a Acer FMCP7AM board with Q8300 At stock with 4 1GB PC2-6400 sticks but would like to upgrade to 8GB, Looking online the MB seems to support 8GB is 2 kits of 2x2Gb 6400 best i can get? such as this.

I couldn't find details of your motherboard so I'll have to take your word that 4x2GB is OK.

At OcUK that seems the best you deal you can do.

The alternative would be 2 of these:

Corsair XMS2 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 PC2-6400C5 TwinX Dual Channel

Corsair always make good RAM.

Of course you could always shop around for 8GB of DDR2.

yeah seems quite a generic board, But have seen someone with it having 8GB and it does have 4 slots, Ill prolly get the corsair then.
