    Some people have stability problems with 3x512 RAM. Also, when you do want to upgrade your RAM later, which you would obviously up with sticks of 1024, you'll be stuck with three old 512s instead of two. I'd stay with what you have until you can get 2x1024.

    I just went from 2x512 to 2x1024 a few days ago. Other than a slight increase in FSX, I haven't noticed it much, but I know it's good to have and I'll keep this new RAM even if I change the CPU or video card.

    I'm looking for 1024MB sticks, but I am also looking for 4x512 sticks. I have 1 stick of 512 right now and I have a dilemma:

    The CPU-Z says this:

    PC4300 - maximum(at the RAM memory)

    I have this: I found some nice Corsair sticks PC6400. If I remove the one existing, and put 4 of these PC6400, will it affect my system? I wonder if I am doing the right stuff if I change this.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
