I'm not really an amateur overclocker but not too knowledgable on RAM I would say.
I currently have a gig of memory (512 PC3200 + 512 PC2100) and I can't seem to get a 1:1 ratio on my processor overlcock thanks to the slower impeding me. Rather than 172X 2 = 344 DDR I have to run it using a divider of 5/4 at 274 DDR in order to use both sticks.
I want to upgrade my the PC2100 with Dual Channel PC3200 (256X2) but I don't know whether or not I can use them COMBINED with the single stick of PC3200 (512MB).
The Dual Channel sticks (256X2 = 512 MB) will be in the dual channel slots whereas the single stick (non - dual channel) of PC3200 will be in the third slot.
Would I still have a dual channel set up (with memory bandwith increasing significantly) or would the invovlemnt of the single stick stunt it?
Would it be better if I only used the 512 of Dual Channel? I really would like a 1 GB of RAM for games ya know?
