| Re: Making MB to 3GB? You know I have sort of been wondering about that. I know for dual channel to work you need both sticks to be identical. I have been wondering if you could use two different sets in the two channels? I have 2 sets of 1 Gig sticks and have debated if i wanted to try them as a 4 gig setup. | ||||||||||||||

| Re: Making MB to 3GB? im honestly thinking that it would be more beneficial to run dual channel 2GB instead of dual channel 3GB, and then when you can muster up cash for another 2 sticks of RAM, go 4GB (all 1GB sticks). this is what i'd do.  | ||||||||||||||

 | Re: Making MB to 3GB? Also keep in mind that a 32-bit OS will not recognize 4GB of memory correctly, so its really a waste....... Quote:

| Re: Making MB to 3GB? Well, the reason I wanted to get 2gb is because they don't have the 512MB each, so they only sell 1GB now..

| Re: Making MB to 3GB? Well, if I wanted to get another 1GB, but it's a 1GB stick and not 512MB, can I do... 1GB 512MB X 512MB ?
