Hello,
I am using 2gb of memory (2x Patriot 1gb PC2 6400). I wish to upgrade to improve performance in video/3D applications, and videogames
Under Vista 64bit, I believe the time has come in which 4gb of RAM has a significant performance improvement over 2gb - Alt+Tabbing out of games, and handling multiple applications at the same time was far smoother when I added a friends PC2 5400 (2x 1gb) memory to my system.
Using the same brand of memory (and speed) will provide even better results though. But from there, I don't know what option to take;
From what I understand my motherboard (EP45-DS3R) supports up to 8gb of "DDR2 1200" memory
Thank you in advance for suggestions folks...

- Adding another two 1gb modules to my system (Patriot PC2 6400)
- Finding a pair of 2gb modules
- Use faster memory? (currently 800mhz)
- Using a single 4gb module
