Overclocking with 4 x 2Gb modules

Any issues to be aware of when overclocking with 4 sticks of dual channel inserted?

Board would be a Gigabyte UD4

Ram would either be:

no specific issues just dont expect as much headroom with 4 modules compared to 2.

Would it be an idea then to take the RAM that is binned for tighter timings with a view to running it slacker?

I've got my 9550 at 3.7 with 4 sticks of OCZ1066 DDR2.

Didn't cause any real problems at all.

You might want to put a tiny bit more voltage to help with stability if you do run into problems
