[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 266782, member: 3850"] The only way to get 3GB is by adding 1GB + 2GB sticks - which means you lose the dual channel performance benefit. So it's a trade off - RAM speed performance vs. overall maximum RAM. Depending on the applications you're using, having 3GB should outweigh the dual channel performance gains. On the other hand, 2GB sticks are still very expensive at the moment, so I'd go with 2x 1GB personally. [/QUOTE]
