2 x 1 Gig or 4 x 512?

[GP40X]

I am getting ready to build an Intel System with a Gigabyte GA-8B-SLI Pro mb and an Intel 630 CPU. I want 2 gig or ram but am windering which way to go. I will be doing some overclocking but am on a limited budget. Corsair XMS is $216 for 4 512 sticks (2 2x512 matched pair of DDR 675 @ $108.00 each) vs. $310 for a matched 1 gig pair of Corsair XMS DDR2 675. Anyone running 4x512 in a Nvidia Intel edition SLI MB and how does it overclock?

2x1gb over 4x512mb for any non-intel chipset

2 mactched 1gb sticks. ur bridge will have slower access times because its accessing all 4 dimm slots.

using 4 sticks if you don't care about upgrading or you want to more chances of errors and mantainance

2 sticks hands down
