Advice Needed on Ram

[Slik]

I have two sticks of 256 DDR400 of Ram making a total of 512. they are in dual channel mode. I was thinking about upgrading and getting 2 more sticks of 256 DDR400 in dual channel making a total of 1GB.

lets say all the timings and speed were the same. would 2x512 of Ram be faster than having 4x256 of Ram?

You can only run in dual channel mode if you are using 2 sticks of ram, therefore 2 x 512 sticks would be better.

depends on your motherboard...some gigabytes can take four. check your mb manual
