4 X 1GB work on an MSI Neo-F P35?

I have an MSI Neo-F P35 currently with 2GB ram (2 x 1GB). Now I have the option to add another 2GB of the same ram making 4 x 1GB. Does anyone know if I'll have problems or if it'll work fine? Also getting a CPU Cooler at the same time to bump my overclock up to 3.6 to 3.8Ghz if that makes a difference. Thanks for any replies.4 X 1GB work on an MSI Neo-F P35?
I think it would be better if you have 2x2GB sticks rather than 4x1GB. I heard many MB have problems with stability when they have all four 4X1GB.Anyway just want to ask you, I am thinking of getting E5200 but I don't know if I will need a BIOS update. I am planing on using the same Mobo as you. And if I will need a BIOS update, do I need another CPU to boot my PC, or is there some other way I can update the BIOS?Ty for any help:D 4 X 1GB work on an MSI Neo-F P35?
it will work because i use 4x1gb ocz but you will need to up the north bridge to 1.5v if your bus is on 400fsb
Yeah I had to update my BIOS as I couldn't adjust voltages otherwise. I did it via an MSI software utility you download from their website, takes 5 mins max. My CPU runs fine now and the motherboard is great!:) Strangely though updating the BIOS mde my CPU multiplier go from standard 12.5 to 12 and I can't make it any higher now. Not a problem if overclocking! Also my FSB won't be touching 400, maximum will be just over 300 to get me 3.6 - 3.8Ghz I think, no more than about 315 so should be OK. Thanks for the replies.
Ty for replying but I want to know when you put the E5200 in, did the mobo recognise it straight away? Cause I heard that if Mobo dosen't recognise you need another CPU so you can start up the computer and update the bios.Ty
Worked fine out of the box, would be fine at stock speeds only updated due to wanting to control the voltage for my overclock.The MSI Neo-F comes with a '45nm sticker' on the box and Version 1.6 BIOS. I needed version 1.9 (latest) to fix my problem though!:)
Ty for the help man.I am getting MSI P35 NEO2-FR and E5200 soon. Was a little bit worried about the BIOS but not I am relaxedTy:)
