RAM Question.

[Chunkylover21]

Right now i have 2 sticks equalling 1gig of ram (512x2) in my ASUS K8N E-Deluxe. I have 3 slots total, so 1 left. My current pair is Geil Value Ram pc3200. I ordered the single gig stick of corsair xms, and am getting it for christmas (also pc3200). BUT, someone has suggested adding the new gig and only keeping one of the 512 sticks into the mobo, why couldnt i keep the 512x2, and add the 1 gig, so i have 2gigs total. they are all pc3200. They said having teh 1.5 gig in there will actually run faster than having 2 gigs, becuase ill be using all the slots. What do you guys say about this?

I thought that was an NF4 problem.
On NF4 boards it would kick it down to 333 with 2T cmd rate.

test it...
Use the 3 sticks check ur timings. Then try it with only 2 sticks.
