My MoBo says it only supports up to 4GB of DDR2 RAM. Currently I have 2 sticks of 2GB each. The MoBo has two slots for the RAM. Lets say I were to get two sticks of 4GB (for a total of 8GB) what is the worst that can happen? Will my MoBo simply not recognize it, or will it be something worse? I run a dual boot XP and Vista 32 Bit. My CPU is an AMD Athlon (dual core) 64 X2 5000+.
If for some reason I can't run more memory, do they make "faster" memory then what I currently have... if that makes sense. For example I know with video cards just because a card is 1GB, that doesn't mean squat. I know other other factors are in play to increase the performance like the core clock, memory clock, bus width etc... is RAM the same way, or is 4GB simply 4GB?
