With all the articles I've read, most overclockers seem to use 1 stick of DDR memory only. I'm planning of getting 2 PC-3200 for my ABIT IT7-Max2 v2.0. Can I still overclock the same way or is it recommended to only have 1 stick?

you can still oc same way
its the same procedure, u mayhave to add abit more voltage though if necessary than it would be to have ust 1 stick of ram

usually 1 stick is preferred becuase if you have 2, sometimes one willnot go as high as other, therefore you hafta run at the lower speed

like he said....

1 is better especially because the nforce2 boards aren't really benefitting that much (only 3 to 5%) with the dual channel set up...

I get the same OC with 2 sticks as I do with 1 stick. Use 2 sticks, extra 3-5% always helps.
