• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

2x512MB or 4x256MB

Having 4 chips is not any faster. With 2 chips, you get the same amount of memory, and still have 2 open slots. You also increase your chances of having a DOA memory chip if you get 4 instead of 2.

According to Anandtech, on the 865 and 875 chipsets, having 4 chips is minimally faster (less than 5%). The negatives you bring up far outweigh this. 4 chips will also not overclock as well as 2 larger ones. If I had the choice/money, I wouldn't use any stick under 1024MB but right now 2x512MB is "in".
