That's an amazing price on those single 1 gig chips!!!!

The problem with buying singles is that there is no guarantee you will get 2 sticks binned exactly the same. You might get lucky and they work together like champs, or you might get a pair that hate each other.

For straight up builds without OC an unmatched pair can in most cases be made to work together fairly well.

Once you start OCing though, differences in batches can make getting a stable OC a major PITA, and finding the right settings for a particular OC even harder than normal.

It's possible to do with unmatched pairs, but if your plans include some major OCing you'll make your life a lot simpler if you stick with a pair of matched Dual Channel sticks.
