Construction questions

[TreeTopFlier]

Enjoying the forum and getting excited now that components are arriving.

I will be attaching a Freezer 7 Pro to cool my Intel Core 2 Quad. Is the paste on the Freezer Pro any good or should I clean it and use Arctic Silver 5 which I have?

I purchased the Corsair 2x2GB DDR2 modules when I planned to build a 64 bit system. I'm now going 32 bit but the memory instruction sheet says,

" PLEASE NOTE: Corsair's line of 4GB memory kits are designed for PC's featuring 64-bit operating systems. Installing 4GB onto PC's with 32-bit operating systems is not advised nor supported under warranty".

I understand that I won't have access to the full 4GB on a 32-bit system but will it hurt to install it?

No it won't hurt to install 4GB of ram you just won't be able to use it all.

And i wouldn't bother taking the paste off of the freezer 7, its actually been proven to work better than AS5.
