question about ram
What's the best option out of what i have, i have 4 channels that support DDR2 i have:
2 sticks of 1gig
1 stick of 2 gig
2 sticks of 512
currently right now i have inserted
the 2 sticks of 1g in the matched slots
1 stick of 512 matched with the 1 stick of 2 gigs
so i have 4.5 gigs in total
would it be better to remove the 1 512 gig thats matched with the 2 gig and and just leave that slot empty?

Is your ram all the same clock speed and brand? And Im assuming its duel channel right?

no its kingston and corsair, it's duel channel same clock speed
shouldn't it be in order from highest to lowest? like the 2g followed by the 1s and then 512?
Unless your running Vista. I would go with just the two 1gig sticks and add one more 1 gig stick for the best performance with XP. If you are running Vista...Pull the 512 stick and then later when ya can afford to...pull the two 1gig sticks and add 3 more 2 gig sticks. Windows Xp wont reconize anything more then three gigs. And they say its a good idea to keep all your ram the same brand as well as speed. Make any sense?
