Related to this...would 2 x 2 Gig be better than 4 x Gig or does it not matter?

Just looking at those timings on the 2x2GB sticks you have to pay a pretty penny to get spd timings that match what 2x1GB sticks can do.

Kool I was just wondering if there actually were 2 gig sticks because i was checking around up here in Canada and i haven't found much.
So would 2 x 1 gig sticks be better for OCing?
Wow that is a pretty penny for the 2 x 2 gig modules.
Anyone have any ideas about Brolloks question because i would like to know also?
Thanks

Assuming your MoBo doesn't have a problem running 4 sticks then I'd say 4x1GB sticks is better than 2x2GB sticks based upon the better timings and speed that the 1GB sticks can do. Not to mention price difference. You need to research your MoBo, though, b/c I've heard that some don't like 4 sticks at all.
BTW...I still think 4GB is overkill. I've never been using more than 2GB at once when I check Task Manager.

Well for the mobo on my new system i was thinking going with the Asus P5N32-E, but there hasn't been any good things about the new NForce boards yet so with that being said its a toss up between that board and the old reliable Asus P5B Deluxe.
Has anyone had issues with 4 x 1 gig modules on anyof these 2 boards.
I was thinking 4 gigs for memory beause I wanted to run vista as flawless as possible.
Thanks

I think you'll have better luck running 4 sticks in a P35 chipset board.
