I am working on building my first computer ever. I have been reading these forums for about two months. I have a p35-DS3L board from gigabyte, and will be getting an e8400 when they are in stock. I am using this machine mostly for gaming and surfing the web and the usual. I might try overclocking in the future after I understand what I am doing so I don't fry the machine I just made for myself.
My question is, 1. is 4 GB 4 x 1GB really bad for OCing? Is 2 x 2GB preferred?
2. This ram which I am looking into getting because it is so cheap, is not on the supported memory list of the mobo. mostly 512MB sticks and some 1 GB sticks are on the preferred, which are all old. This memory will still work correct?

I appreciate any info on these two questions.
