I want to upgrade my RAM to 4GB because in Warhammer Online I'm usually at 90% memory usage with just 2GB of RAM. Right now I'm running my RAM at 405 MHZ, 5-5-5-15-20-2T, they are Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800. Would it be best to go with 2x1GB more of Crucial Ballistix or could I go with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231098 instead for the last 2 slots?

Ballistix are having tremendous reliability problems right now. I would suggest these:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145043
Or these:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227181
Both are better then the GSkill for about the same price. Watch the rebate rules carefully.

Aren't some motherboards flaky using all four ram slots? Isn't it usually recommended to just get 2X 2gb sticks?
