Thanks for the help!! And do you think I should get 2 x 2 GB or 1 x 4 GB? 1600 Mhz or 1333 MHz? The 1600 MHz is 1.65V and 1300 MHz is 1.5 V. Do you think it will matter?

Thanks
If it is 4GB, 2x2 sticks are the best. Either one should be fine.....

I won't be playing a bluray while converting a blyray file in the background, but I will be playing a Bluray while transcoding/streaming a Blu ray file to other TV. At the same time that I will be downloading and uploading up to 50 files using utorrent.
You should be fine with A6-3650 APU....
