I currently have 2 gskill HZ 6400 thinking of adding another 2 gig while its cheap.


any pitfalls when clocking etc...?

First time I will be using all 4 banks
 
Not having any problems running 4x1GB sticks here mate. Running some Ballistix 5300 @ 972Mhz in dual channel ok

Not limiting my oc at all :D

Adding an extra 2 sticks didn't affect my CPU clock.

Tho you may have to up your vdimm or slightly loosen your timings.

Tho, ofcourse, some boards won't clock 4 sticks too well. The ASUS P5N-E being one.
 
I just got another 2 GB of the Geil stuff and it works fine on my system with the four slots full. Although I have not pushed my cpu to the max :)
 
It worked fine with my E6600, although I've never pushed it past 3.2Ghz.

It's meant to put a lot of pressure on the NB. If you're into extreme overclocking I'd condsider 2x2GB sticks.
