4x512MB in an Intel system

[_the_duke_]

Hi, I have a Pentium 805 and Asrock ConRoe945G-DVI. I need to buy some DDR2 to get the system up and running, however I only have the cash for 2x512MB at the moment. Would I be able to add another 2x512MB later down the track? I know AMD64's suffered when running 4 sticks of RAM. Will I see any loss in performance?

Thanks

No, you should'nt see any loss of performance with Intel based systems. However to get it running properly, you will need slightly more Vdimm and possibley NBv with 4 sticks at any given bandwidth compared to 2 sticks.
