I'd simply go with a 2x4GB set for the full eight, or get a 3x2GB for 6 and hope you can get 2 or 3 of your 1GB sticks to play w/ the 3x2GB....with four sticks already and your CPU being a 1366, should have 6 slots total...the 2x4GB will give you 8 in dual channel...Would suggest 1066 max with your Xeon as far as freq

Which motherboard are you using? In a dual/triple channel memory system, always buy memory in MATCHED sets of 2/3 for best results and less problems. Timing, voltage, date of manufacture, brand, etc is very important to assure trouble free use with dual/triple channel.
