I currently have 3 1gb sticks of corsair value pc2-5300 in my pc but i am thinkning of getting rid of then and going for 2 of these.

I just wanted to know if that is a good move.

That should lave enough money for some other bits. You going to be overclocking heavily?

By the time you've sold that Corsair you should have enough posts to qualify for free delivery at ST

I'd do it, prices are low right now...

...but I just got a fourth gig of GSkill DDR2-800, and boy is it WEAK. Got two 1GB sticks of model GBNQ that have been doing great. Bought a 1GB stick of DDR2-800 model GBNR for a second system which project I aborted and so bought said fourth stick, another GBNQ... can't keep up with the first three (seperate tests to see why I couldn't use all four at my usual 3.636GHz speed, the newbie was stuck at 359FSB/DDR2-718 @SPD ), so maybe thats another reason why RAM is cheap right now.

Question for anyone to answer, when I did have all four sticks in the BIOS would register 4 million some odd bytes of RAM; Vista would only see 3070MBs, and one stick at a time would show 1022MBs (all four)... what gives? my rigs specs are down below if anyone can give me an explanation. (Thank you in advance)
