Advice about maximum amount of ram recommended
I have the M4A785TD-V EVO motherboard, which has 4 dd3 1333mhz slots, and each pair of them support functioning in dual channel. At the moment i have 1 kingston stick of 1gb (KVR1333D3N9/1G) CL9, and 1 kingston stick of 2gb (KVR1333D3N9/2G) CL9. Note that usually i have tons of programs loading at startup and i do a lot of multi tasking.
I really need some advice here, i don't know if i should go to have as much memory as possible (6gb-8gb) so that i don't have to worry about buying more in the next 5 or more years regarding intensive gaming or the windows that will come next to seven in 64bits. I say this because so soon i don't want to have a computer using lots of virtual memory, if in later years the new windows that will come out asks tons of memory or the games themselfs, much like windows 64bits is doing in relation to the 32bits versions.
Another problem i have is, if i buy 2 x 2gb sticks, if keeping the original two sticks working at single channel will affect the performance of the new ones, even if they all work at CL9-9-9 and they are in different channels...
And at last, i ask the same question as above, but in the case i choose now a different brand of sticks other than kingston and which one you recommend...
