It's been my experience that if you are overclocking the fewer sticks the greater the chances of stability. Otherwise I would assume that if you went 2x4GB now and picked up two later it would be fine but I'd recommend the 2nd set have similar if not matching timings.
OK thanks.
I just read in the FAQ:
"(If) you are using 4 memory modules (instead of 2), which require more power, your system may clock the speed of the modules down to maintain stability."
Does the size of the PSU wattage help here, so a higher PSU wattage will keep the system from clocking the speed down?
