Dual channel or not?

[Jammydodger]

Just ordered another stick of Corsair 512MB DDR XMS3200C2PT Platinum CAS2.
So when i have it I will have 2 sticks of Corsair 512MB DDR XMS3200C2PT and 1 stick of Corsair 256MB DDR XMS3200C2PT.

So my Q is would I be better running the 2 sticks of 512 in dual channel and leaving the 256 out or shall i chuck all 1280mb in?

Thanks for any help. :thumbs:

Yes, take the 256MB stick out and just run Dual Channel with 2x512MB Corsair sticks.

Yes, take the 256MB stick out and just run Dual Channel with 2x512MB Corsair sticks.

Ditto. Wierd mixes of RAM tend to result in crappy performance.
