I have a Corsair 512 pc3000 and a Corsair 256 pc3000. I was able to get the timing to 1:1 2-2-2-5. According to the Corsair website, 512 has double banks and 256 is single bank. Should I just use 1 slot of 512 and set my bank interleave to 2? Can I set it to 4? Does it make any different if I have both or a single stick? If 1 stick is good enogh, I would just sell my 256.

I notice my Bios setting doesn't have 1 in the Bank Interleave option. It only has none, 2 and 4.

btw, I am running w2k on my system.
