So, you're suggesting I run 4x 1GB sticks rather than 2x 2GB sticks?
There has been a lot of talk that 4x 1GB sticks is very hard for a chipset to deal with. My attention has been pulled in a lot of different directions lately, so It's getting harder for me to keep up with what's going on. I have seen the changelogs on the BIOS files that say that stability has been increased running 4x DIMMS, but the OCZ support threads say that latency issues in the chipset and certain ratios make running 4x 1GB sticks very difficult.
I have a set of CORSAIR Dominator 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1142 (PC2 9136) that i can try. Not sure of its module make-up. Is this respectable memory? I usually use it when ringing out an Intel chipset becuase of its high bus speed capability. Haven't really considered it for the 680i - even though it says EPP, the Striker doesn't pick up on EPP profile from what I can tell.
My bad Khaotic, did not realize they were a 2x2GB pair. No actually 2 dimms are always better than 4 for overclocking.
