Would it be possible to run dual channel on an Abit NF7-S rev 2.0 with 2- 512 sticks and 1-1gb. stick? There are only three slots to work with and I want to add another Gb. of ram without having to remove my 512 sticks. So what would my options be?

I'm not sure about the specifics of your mb, but it's possible that you can run DC but take a hit in DDR bandwidth. At least that's the way my last mb DC mb worked. If I slapped in 2x512 with 1x1g it went from DDR400 to DDR333. I'm sure your manual has the specifics on what type of sticks you can mount where and the indications associated with each.

each of the 512 sticks in slot 1 and 2 and the 1 gig in slot 3 and it should be running dual channel.

Well, I know this thread is old as hell but I just saw it in my bookmarks and thought I would update in case anyone else had the same question. I have it set-up this way, the 2 512 sticks in slots 1 and 2 with the 1Gb. stick in slot 3 and it is in dual channel and runs great.

A blast from the past huh? 
I went from a DC mb to a SC configuration and frankly I haven't been able to tell the difference.

Yes it is...Just make sure the 2x512 are on one channel while the single gig module is on the other.

If you board supports it, why not?
