Looking for 2x2GB PC8500 Ram for OCing..

Just wondering if there is anything out there in this format that is really good for OCing.

Or is it 4x1Gb?? or maybe I should just stick to 2x1Gb of crucial bal.?

Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Bump, I'm curious about this too. Which would overclock better?

2x1 gb will OC better than 4x1 gb without question

You'll put more stress on the north bridge by using all the DIMMs and require more voltage and it will effect your max over clocking ability.

That being said, it IS possible, just more difficult.

Oh, wow. I quoted the wrong subject. My real question is what would the case be between 2X2GB or 4X1GB? I know one would leave room for upgrade, but I think I'd honestly be rebuilding a system by the time I really needed 8 GB.
