2x1gb +another 1gb, dual channel will still work?

IIRC, you had to match the amount of RAM in each memory bank (512MB in slot 1, 512MB in slot 2, and 1GB in slot 3, for example).

It's all moot now, as I don't believe there's a current board out there with the same 3-slot memory bank configuration (could be wrong).

Ah there we go. Thanks for the refresh haha, it's been a damned while. :P

I think there's little improvement over 2GB overall for most users, not actually worth losing dual channel most of the time. In a perfect world though, you would be running 4GB, all in dual channel. To be able to use those 4GB though, you would need a 64bit OS... but that's something else.
