thanks for the reconmandation, so if i buy two of these sets, would that be ok, to go for 8GB in total..

Yeah cant see that being a problem. Though using all 4 slots on your motherboard might affect your overclock.

Hmm do you get slowdowns.? I would monitor the ram usage when you are doing these tasks and see what it is like.

If it is not using the ram you have, there would be no point in getting 2 sets mate

No problem, thats your best bet, see how you get on with 1 set, can always add another in later on if needed

Hope all goes well.

Rana you dont quote the OS in your specs.

32bit OS cant use more than 4gb. So unless you use a 64 bit OS forget 8GB.
