Ok, sorry for all this thread making. I'm back in the market in developing a better P.C since I had the chance to score on a quad q6600 G0 on black friday

Recently i just bought these A-data ddr2 800 extreme edition CL:4-4-4-12 2t

ok, so lately i've been kind of contemplating because on fatwallet.com, some one posted this deal

http://shop1.outpost.com/product/520...H:MAIN_RSLT_PG

and im wondering whether i should return the a-data's and get those instead or...

buy another 2 dual kit memory set? because I want 4-6gb of ram in my computer. My purpose for the new computer is to put a MAC OS X leopard on there too as well, ill be doing some 3d applications, and probably gaming.

Soo my questions are:

1. should i return the a-data and get the one's from fry's?

2. should i buy the one's at frys and combine them with my a-data? will they jeopardize any performance of either ram?

3. buy another set of 2 GB (2x1GB) of ram ? and if so, what kind of ram should i combine it with my a-data to perform at compatible speeds? such as combine my a-data with ballistix? or buy another set of a-data ram?

4. anyone used these a-data ram before? i couldn't pass up on 2 gb ram for 26.99


info needed, not very Memory savvy.


here is the link:

^ that's the ram that i got now.
should i go for another 4-4-4-12 timings with the same voltage?

so if i got two different brands but at the same timings/voltage, how will the overclocking be done?


these are the ones that i was thinking of returning my A-DATA extremes for these

i want to have at least more than 2gb of ram.

Can I add 4gb of ram with my 2 gb A-DATA? if that's the case, what would be the best match compatibility?
