Will i still be able to use Dual ch. ?
I made a huuuge mistake when I bought only 512 RAM (2x256). I have one more stick of RAM which is 512 MB. So I thought putting it in as well.
So is it possible ?
Thank you for your time!

P.S. All sticks are PC 3200 cl2.5 ( but not same manufacturer I'm afraid )

I don't have my manual in front of me right now, but if I remember correctly, you must use the sticks in pairs (1-3 or 2-4) to be able to use DDR. Check your manual, the answer is there.

no dual channel comes in 2's and if you put a 3rd one in it will default to single channel.
