I'm planning on upping my memory to 4gb and I need some advise. Currently have Corsair (2x1gb) 6400c4Dhx 4-4-4-12

Can someone tell me which one is better?

Corsair (4x1gb) 6400c4dhx 444-12
or
Corsair (2x2gb) 6400c5dhx 555-18

Thx

joe shmoe I would stick to these (Corsair (4x1gb) 6400c4dhx 444-12 ) you already have 2 gig of same ram,also are you useing xp or vista.xp 32 bit will show 3.5 gig with 4 gig of ram,while xp 64 and vista 64 will show all 4 gigs.it no big deal,I still have 4 gig.hopes this helps

Of course corsair and crucial are good. If you want cheap, I like Wintec Ampo memory as well, seems decent for the price, but it is more value ram, so probably not for overclocking.

joe shmoe the first thing I would do is check and see what all ram works with motherboard (qvl) .second thing I would check would be does motherboard support 1.8 1.9 2.0 2.1 volt ram.even if you don't buy what the Qvl list say's to use make sure ram voltage is supported on motherboard
