    Any reason you've got 2 different types of RAM in there?

    Eh. I'm really just using the OCZ 4GB cause I'm still running 32bit. Wont use the other till I slap on the 64bit soon.

    While I've never tried myself, mixing RAM is *supposedly* bad so I'd do some research on it before doing so.

    Well I know that if you put in RAM with different speeds, the system will run on the slower speed, thus slowing down your system rather than making it better.

    At the mo I'm content with the OCZ memory, 4 gig's seems like plenty and I don't wanna go 64bit until it becomes more of a standard.

    What do you think about the rest of the build though?

    Rest of the build seems fine. By 64 bit I'm presuming you mean Vista. I've got the same OS running on the same memory and it works great with it. No real need to add in more RAM imo. I've also never had any problems running any programs with 64 bit.

    Good to know, might make the jump to 64bit soon then, thanks for the great input.

    No problem. I've yet to come across anything that doesn't work. Any games I play on it are usually through steam and they work fine.
