So does using 4 slots actually cause issues ?

So i have been gaming at 8gb ram for ages however i have recently been hitting 97/98% ram usage. so i have just got another 8gb kit one of these to be exact.

so i will have 4 X 4gb sticks. any one ever actually had a problem ?

Interesting Points. The ram is identical to what i have Same model timings etc.

I also use a Gigabyte G1 Sniper mobo so not a cheap one but not top of the range either. I guess time will tell when it arrives.

Well i have had no problem with the ram so i just opted for the same kit again. I guess the question is will i "notice" any difference if i change the ram to another kit/brand. And i mean that in the sence of in game not with some software to measure it? I actually dont know a lot about ram tbh at all. I have never bothered to study all the timings etc i just installed it and enables xmp lol.
