ok guys quick question.

The Ram i picked says it is a 4GB kit 2x2GB but at the bottom of the page it has this

This bundle consists of the following items:

1 x Corsair Value 2GB (1x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Low-Voltage Single Channel Module (VS2GB1333D3)
1 x Corsair Value 2GB (1x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Low-Voltage Single Channel Module (VS2GB1333D3)

Does this mean the kit consists of 4 sticks or 2 since the board on has 2 slots?

Cheers in advance.

Sorry my bad it is only 2 sticks

(1x2GB) (1x2GB) :)
