Having bought 2 sets of 2gb G.Skill ZX DDR PC3200 2-3-2-5 and putting 1 set in each of my machines, they both worked great once I figured out the BIOS settings for the RAM. Both my motherboards have 4 slots each and will take upto 4Gb each -I'm planning on maxing out the machines and have tried my admin PC with all four slots filled with the G.Skill RAM but as I'm on windowsXP and really am avoiding the overheads of going to Vista cannot get the Operating System to see more that 3Gb, so instead of buying two more sets of 2Gb and only having 1Gb available to me (WindowsXP Limit) I thought about just buying a couple of set ofs 1Gb Dual kits - but see the G.Skill sets at 2x512 are a different latency (2-3-3-6) so I would have to drop my settings in the bios to suit the 1Gb in the second Dual Bank - do you know of a better way forward without moving up to Vista and putting in the full 4Gb?

This is the limitation of a 32 bit XP install.

An area you many want to consider looking up in Google is the following concept to speed up your system even further by dedicating a chunk of RAM as a RAMDisk and then locate the Windows Page File on the RAM drive.

Now, you page file will be accessed just as fast as your RAM.

One link I came across on this topic among many.
