    I recently got Windows 7 and after upgrading and adding all the other software that I constantly use, the ram usage on my PC is always at ~50%. My PC has 2x "Corsair Dual Channel TWINX 2048MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz E.P.P. Memory (2 x 1024)" for a total of 4gigs of ram. I was thinking of removing 2 of this sticks and adding "Corsair Dual Channel TWINX 4096MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz Memory (2 x 2048MB)" What I was wondering is if it would cause any problems??

    Thanks

    64bit windows 7 Pro. I was just wondering if the RAM would be compatible because I have heard different RAM sticks could give headaches.
