Ok thanks chaps.

I didnt think golden dragon was still available, as OCuk have stopped stocking it. Guess i should have checked some other suppliers.

Your saying 4 sticks of ram instead of 2 actually slows the PC down?

Also, noob question, Why would there be problems mixing them as they are both PC3200? is there something peculiar with golden dragon ram, Would there be possible instability?

ill try the new sticks with the GD and if theres a prob, ill sell my old stuff. I dont really OC and like you say ill probably see little difference.

Thanks for all your help chaps
