For me, running 1:1 with the CPU has always been better for stability. For the minute gain in bandwidth almost always comes with a loss in stability. To each his own, but getting some good CAS 3 PC2 5400 ram or CAS 4 PC6400 is the best way to go. If you plan on running your CPU stock, anything over PC6400 is a huge waste of money. And more than 2GB is still only really needed by video processing pro's with a 64-bit OS.
