I made my own machine about 8 months ago (thanks in huge part to the help from visiting the forums here) and when I did, I included 512mb of DDR Crucial PC-3200 memory in 2 256mb sticks.
Now that it's 8 months later, I'd like to upgrade to a full gig of memory, but my question is this:
My Epox 8RDA3+ motherboard has 3 memory slots. If I leave the current 2 sticks in and insert a stick of 512 into the third, will that effect performance or create any bottlenecks as opposed to having 2 sticks of 512 in 2 slots and leaving the 3rd empty?
