8GB F2-8500CL5D
DFI LanParty LT X48-T2R

I have 4GB of this RAM currently installed on this mobo running fine @ 1066.
Any issues increasing this to 8GB?
Will I be able to use the same BIOS settings?

What is G Skill policy (if any) if I buy additional modules and they won't work?

Would I be able to exchange for a different model G Skill ram?

What do you need 8GB of RAM for?

Virtual machines.
... and because I can.....

I can actually run out of 2Gb ram on XP 32 bit using everyday apps.

So the lifetime warranty ends once the product is no longer in production?

[GSKILL TECH]

Would I be able to exchange for a different model G Skill ram?

depends. we do exchange to less expensive if motherboard is incompatible, but not always.

yes, if the life of a product ends, no more warranty. but most the time we agree to change to other model under same architecture

mines worked with 8gb no problem, I initially started with 4 and moved to 8 with the same settings..
GSkill techs have experienced some instability with the set in general on a x48 dfi motherboard but I never experienced any problems..
