2x2GB or 4x1GB

which would be best, i use vista 64-bit?

And also would i be best off saving loads of money and buying 2 2gb or 4 1gb sticks seperately.. or in a dual/quad channel kit?

2x2 mate. Less chance of encountering any compat problems with your mobo that way. Also should allow for higher overclocking.

Those any good?

My budget is around £100 give or take £20. And my mobo can support up to 1066Mhz

** edit

How about these?

I know some people have had bad experiences with OCUK but:

Yeah go for 2x2GB... nothing to gain from 4x1gb. Not even quad channel... has yet to invent itself.

Damn! Got my 6400 kit from there mid Jan for that price! One month later 8000 kit can be had for the same price!

tbh, even though I know the RMA at OCUK is dire, I've still ordered a few parts with no issues (never needed an RMA from them, touch wood!)

that kit is tempting me.. my motherboard supports 667mhz 800mhz and 1066mhz

Would that kit be fine? coz isnt DDR28000, 1000mhz?

As far as I know, yes it should be fine. Just make sure u have the space between ur ram slots and cpu cooler.
