HTPC build with new ASUS AT5IONT-I

Just upgrade question....
Nowadays I am using RAM Kingston KVR1333D3S9/2G but want to upgrade to 4GB.
The easiest way is to buy second one same RAM module, but, I want to upgrade another laptop where the same RAM module should be used (so I have to buy 2 modules)

So question - will in ASUS AT5IONT-I work RAM module Kingston KVR1333D3S9/4G?? Confused

Then I will just buy one module of 4GB and pass 2GB module to laptop, instead of buying 2x 2GB RAM modules (which are more expensive than 1x 4GB module).

The manual says the maximum size for any single RAM module is 2GB. Given this board's history with RAM, I would suggest you stick to this limit.

But list of supported RAM modules says that 8GB (2x4GB) from GEIL manufacturer can be used and cited small letters "When installing total memory of 4GB or more, Windows 32-bit OS may recognize..."...

Did anybody tried to use single 4GB RAM?
And will 4GB be better performance with XBMC?
Sometimes I can see on my television small stuttering (cca every 2s) when playing HD video.. Sometimes not.. I really dont know what is causing this..

Hrm, ok then.

If you're on Windows, then the extra RAM might help. I'm afraid I don't know if those sticks will work or not.

I am running XBMC full instalation on HDD.
(due to Android remote control, so I do not need any keyboard or mouse Nod

)

Ok, thanks for the info, I will rather buy 2x2GB RAM.

hdmi to Dell 3011 and from this monitor to the 5.1 system via 3x 3,5mm audio.

It basically describes my experience with XBMC running on a system based on this board.
