adding another 2x512MB to current OC

[Homerboy]

I currently have a Venice 3000+ at 2.8Ghz on a DFI LanParty w/ 2x512 Cosair (specifically: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820145450)

I'd like to add another 2x512 to bring the total to 4x512MB... is it likely I will have to adjust the OC at all? Will it likely lower my OC? Any input/experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I am certainly no expert in this field but on my AMD3200 I went from 2X512 (dual channel paired) to 4 X 512 and had nothing but woes. First you will most likely loose the 1T setting.. as no matter what I did with mine (tried different CPU's and all) I could never run 4 X 512 at 1T. As for the speed I had success in getting a decent bus speed but the timings had to be relaxed and in my case on my board I had to run max 333 mhz for the ram with 4 double sided modules rather than the original 400 dual channel I was getting before.

hmm well that doesnt sound to promising.
Is the only way to effectively run 2GB then going 2x1Gb?

I did just that... put my 4 X 512 for sale and got 2 X 1024 and it's all smiles from here. It just solved ALL MY PROBLEMS in stability and wierd random crashes and all. Or you can look for 4 x 512 single sided.
