Hello this is my system.
Asus P5B Deluxe
Q6600 2.4 ocd to 3.0
9800GT soon replaced by a GTX650 http://www.sigmanet.ro/placa-video-gigabyte-nvidia-geforce-gtx-650-oc-windforce-2x--2gb-ddr5--128-bit
http://www.sigmanet.ro/placa-video-evga-geforce-gtx-650-ti-2gb-gddr5-128-bit--928-5400-mhz--pci-express-3-0---02g-p4-3651-kr?utm_source=price-ro
tell me how good these GPU performs and im happy:D
CORSAIR XMS2 2X2GB (4GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 PC-6400 CL5.Kit
Chieftech 400W psu
22'' Wide Samsung Sync Master 2243NW.

And i whant to do an upgrade to the ram but im not sure with what.
Corsair 2x1GB RAM DDR2 XMS2 PC-5400 CL4 KIT
Or another
CORSAIR XMS2 2X2GB (4GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 PC-6400 CL5.Kit
i know that the memory modules should be the same but for the 2X CORSAIR XMS2 2X2GB (4GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 PC-6400 CL5.Kit
Will it work in dual Channel?
Will the mobo see the 8 GB of RAM? (it supports 8 gb of RAM but will it see the full 8GB or only 4)
My OS is on 64Bit so no problem here.
Im considering buing a new Mobo like http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5P43TD/

Go with CORSAIR XMS2 2X2GB (4GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 PC-6400 CL5.Kit which is the better option than 2x1GB. Yes, your system will recognize all the memory.
