So im getting a new hdd and vista, since i only have 2 gigs of ram i want to upgrade that as well.

Heres my choice though, the ram i have, a-data extreme ram they dont sell anymore in 2x1gig sticks, only in 2x2 for 4 gigs...now would it benefit me more to buy that and have 6 gigs with vista (x64 of course)

or

buy http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820144062
that geil ram...it has the same timings as my adata and same voltage ranges so it would match, to have a total of 4 gigs...i do some light gaming and various other things, is it worth the extra 30 bones? Also since the geil is a different brand, even with the same specs would that matter as well?

It'll be fine, go for the 6 gigs.. Even if it doesn't match perfectly, that motherboard can keep the RAM in dual channel mode..
