Filling all four memory slots?

[djnes]

I've seen some comments about people having stability issues when filling all 4 memory slots on their motherboards. I'm thinking of adding 2 more Corsair XMS sticks to my system in my sig. I have 2 sticks in there already, and would be adding the exact same sticks. I'm not overclocking, and everything is pretty much running at stock speeds. Would I be taking a chance at decreasing my stability, or was this only when doing some major OCing?

The only cases of stability issues I can recall were with non-Intel chipsets. Further, since you're adding the same sticks of RAM and aren't overclocking I'd say that it'll probably work just fine.

Only way to be certain is to try it and see what happens, I guess
