Ram help please

[Eagle]

Hi guys

I have a Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R mobo rev 1.1

I currently have 2gb of Geil DDR2 PC6400 800mhz running on it.

I want to change to 8gb of ram and Gigabytes website says my board will take DDR2 up to 1066mhz.

I've looked at these

or these

My question is will my board take 8gb of either of those rams and will it run at 1066mhz or will it have to run at 800mhz?

Thx in advance

I'm currently only running XP 32 bit but am considering 64 bit.

Main use for this rig is gaming with the likes of AA3 & ARMA 2 being the most recent.

You may be right that the difference between 4 and 8 is negligable but at current prices why not

I did say that I'm considering 64 bit, as I am aware that 32 bit wont even use 4 gig.

But that is neither here nor there as my original question was will it work in my board or wont it.
