what about your value ram is not making you happy? You will see very little performance difference, expecially for the money spent. If you have a A64 setup, you will see hardly any difference at all.

What power supply are you using?

If you think it's your memory thats causing your lockups, then you should run Memtest, and what PSU are you using?
