Thanks I will go with those instead.  Regarding system memory would it be better to get the 2 sticks with 4gb each instead of the 4 sticks with 2gb each?

less stick of ram is always better, less dims are filled means less stress on the memory controller, not that 4 x 2GB sticks would cause a problem, but its just a rule of thumb.

I believe DS gives you 2 x 4GB sticks anyways.
