You COULD run your PC like that, but chances are, its going to run unstable...

So for the dual channel to run best, you gotta have 2 identical ram sticks...

So, you're reight, 2x512 or 2x1024

If you stick to only one stick, you will loose something like 3-5% of the performance

its not like the end of the world...i was going out for dinner so i just went to swap it, no questions asked.

also got muney back. MUNNNNEEYYYY

yeah so 2x512mb ram for $690HKD(88.7568 USD)
 
oh yeah, why get rid of the 2x256 sticks? they are PQI brand lol bet u havent heard of them

the 2x512 are AENEON and are pc3200 whcih is 400mhz i think? (btw what does the mhz do?)

is it a good deal in terms of your country? i could have got the same stuff for less but then the place is further away, so time+petrol will end up making it cost more.

It's not a bad deal. A couple of months ago I bought 2x512MB of OCZ Premier RAM - supposed to be some pretty good RAM and it had aggressive timings. Speed was PC3200 (DDR400). Unfortunately, My computer runs unstable when I run the RAM at the speed it should be run... :(
This is actually really annoying - I paid extra for the faster RAM, and now I have to underclock it, even though my Mobo should be able to handle it just fine (and I thought CPU should be happy with it too).
I paid ?83 for that RAM - I'm not quite sure how that translates. But it's somewhat cheaper now: This is the stuff I bought

Oh yeah, and PQI are cool - I have a very nice USB Memory stick from them which is a really great piece of kit. And for a recommendation of what to do with the old RAM? I put my old 512 stick in my Mum's computer...

damn, I got my 512 SDRAM 133 MHz for 63 Euros....

Raheel, SDRAM is older than DDR RAM (which is what Jason's bought) - just look at the speed difference 133MHz as opposed to 400.[/url]

Newegg sells PQI, it's a pretty cheap brand.
 
yeah i buy the cheapest brand coz the quality and performance difference from the selling price isnt alot. if there was a diff i dont think u notice it that much.

why on earth would someone need 512MB SDRAM 133MHz?
you got a slow pc anyway, <1800Mhz for sure, most likely even <1200Mhz...
256MB should be enough to run Windows XP with all the eyecandy turned off.
 
With WinXP you should have at lest 512MB RAM. Anything less is just annoying. I payed $120 to have an extra 256MB of RAM in my laptop (a grand total of 512MB) and I'm haven't ever regreted it.
 
bigfoot- the first Athlon boards still had SDRAM on them, and you can still run a more modern processor like the new Semprons on them with a BIOS upgrade... so that would be worth a 512 SD....
