Intel h57 ram limit

[neihls]

Hello,

I am considering a Gateway DX4840-37 with Intel Core i5-650(3.2GHz) on an Intel H57 mb.

Does that mb support 8 GB RAM? This system comes with 4GB DDR3.

Yes... It supports up to 16GB (4x4GB), so a 8GB (4x2GB) setup will work. Gateway DX4840-37 Specifications

I have the same chipset and i recently replaced my Kingston 1333Mhz 2x2GB DDR3 10666 with Corsair 1333Mhz 2x4GB DDR3 10666. Will i be able to use all four sticks because they have the same specs or is it best to have the same ones leading to 4x4?
