    2 or 4 sticks of ram?

    So I have heard that having 4 sticks of ram can lower your oc potential with a quad, due the NB having to work harder.

    Is this true? Anyone experienced this?

    I'm considering dropping in another 4gb's or ram, but I am concerned about my fsb. I don't want the max to go below 450.
