Question 1

I'm looking to upgrade my PC with these. I currently have a total of 32GB of this same model and would like to re-buy these to add a total of 64GB in my system taking full advantage of the 8 slots. Is this the best compatible option? would I need to re-buy all 64GB's or can I simply add this 32GB?

What OS are you running?  I don't know anything about Windows 8, but Windows 7 can only use so much memory. Depending on what OS system you have, the max memory could be as low as 4GB. I can't include links, but look it up. Big difference between Home Basic, Home Premium, and Starter verses Ultimate, Professional, and Enterprise.

It also could be limited by your processor. Just because you have 8 slots doesn't mean your system can run it. The motherboard could handle it, but your processor and OS could be limiting you. If you have all that in place, then you should be good to go. Make sure you have enough airflow.

It's been working for the better part of a year for me.  However, I am not overclocking, I built a system with enough overhead that I don't need to, so I can't answer about overclocking stability.

On this system I run:

Windows 8.1 (Dual Boot)
Windows 12 (Dual Boot)

VMs
Windows XP, Windows 2008, Windows 2003, Ubuntu, and several other 'NIX OS's in VMs
