The motherboard I am getting (ASUS P5WD2) has four slots for memory, total of 8 Gig. I'm going to put 2 Gig in (need it for large video editing files) Am I better off to get 4 512s and fill all slots so if one goes bad I can replace at cheaper price or am I better off to go with two 1 Gig sticks? Will that board run on only 1 stick or does it need to be in pairs? If the memory needs to be installed in pairs, then I think it would be better to have 4 sticks so you can troubleshoot memory.
What do you think?
And what about memory brands? Is Altas Good? If not what is do you recommend?

The performance gains seen when fully populating the DIMM slots in World War Z are quite impressive, here the 9900K was up to 10% faster, while the 3900X was up to 9% faster. They're there for a reason. However, I wouln't fill up every slot if I don't need the ram. That's just wasting money. Also, when installing more RAM, you gotta make sure to put it in the correct slot. If you're not filling all the available RAM channels, read your motherboard's manual to see which specific slots you should fill first. Placing RAM in the incorrect slots could result in some.
