Might sound like a stupid question but as i undestand it it is 2+2 channels so it shuld work like if u have 1 stick of 1gb and 1 stick of 512mb. I have two OCZ value mems that run nicely and i wuld like to keep them when i get some more mem. Thx for any insight. :respect:

Yes i know about the pairs and that is why i am thinking of puting in two modules of 1gb and two modules of 512mb. So they are in pair and i get 3gb of memory in duall channel. So it is 4 modules. I am using 4x512mb in duall chanel.

u will just get slightly slower memory timings with all four slots filled 2T instead of 1T.. i had the same decison as u.. i decided 3 gig was of no benefits and settled for 2 gig at the faster timings with just too slots filled..

it does work thow cos i tried it for memory bandwidth tests..
