Default Memory for x4 955 BE with win 7 64bit

I currently have this

Crucial Ballistix 2GB

Bottom line is its not enough and when I play my FSX with REX it crashes. What DDR3 do you recommend. Looking for a 4GB kit under $100 that works with my x4 955 BE, MSI 790FX-GD70 and Win 7 64bit.

Thanks

Buy another one of those if you want, it'll work.

Or get this:

Your memory is good, but that G.Skill I showed you will do very well in an AMD build.

You could buy another stick and then have 4 GB of RAM with your two Crucials and one 2 GB stick, but performance would likely be sacrificed, as AM3 was meant for dual channel.

Edit: I looked up the memory and apparently there are some compatibility issues with your motherboard (and mine ). If I were you, I'd sell that RAM and get the Gskill I showed you.

Yea I know I had to buy this to get my mother board to boot and its just laying around.

Crucial 1GB

If I use it will my performance be sacrificed. It was only $19 and I can get another one or should I sell my current memory along with this one for the g skill.
