Adding 4gb of ram to this system, good idea?

[tommymac]

Hi,

I currently run 2GB (2x1) of ram (Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX) on Vista 64bit, and am considering upgrading it to 6GB with an additional 4GB (2x2) of Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 PC2-6400C5 TwinX (2x2GB).

The 4GB is at a very good price only £36, though I'm aware I'd have to run my current ram at the slower timings I assume it would be a good idea to add the 4GB and I just wanted to check this?

Thanks

Tom

The more memory the better.
You can overclock the timings of your memory and check for errors with memtest86+.

Yep more the better.
Since your 64 bit it seems like a viable option.
