Will 512x4 with Venice potentially limit my overclock?

Is there a verdict on this or does it very greatly? I run a somewhat modest 2.6ghz on my 3500+ Venice for everyday use. Its completely stable and although the ram is value ram (G.skill) Im pretty happy with the performance. Im considering getting an extra gig for the system soon and Im aware of the 2T limitation, but will using all 4 DIMMs limit the OC'ing capability/stability of the chip in anyway? Any first hand accounts either way would be great, thanks.

He is talking about 512MB sticks, so they will be DS (Doubled-Sided).

 
Running @ 2T will probably result in a 40MHz penalty of the CPU clock speed.

Im not sure what you mean here. 40mhz penalty of the max FSB or just the overall estimated max OC of the chip?

Couple more questions I have. Is 1024 x 2 @ 1T that much better than 512 x 4 @ 2T performance wise in games?

Also if I decide on getting another pair of 512 sticks does it have to be the same exact brand/timings?

edit- Im already running a divider (260fsb x 10 w/ 166 divider = DDR433)
