Right now I have 512mb PC2100 RAM in my Athlon XP 2800 Barton machine, and I'd like to have 1gb total while running in Dual Channel mode. My mobo is listed in my sig. My 2 options are:
-Buy another 512 stick of PC2100.
or
-Buy 2 512 sticks of PC2700
If I go with the first option, what are the chances that the new module won't run in Dual channel mode with my old stick? It's not a main brand stick. Also, since I'm running a 2800XP, would PC2100 be holding my performance back?
The second option wouldn't be bad, except for the obvious higher cost.
