First off, if this subject has been beat to death and the same questions have been asked over and over I appologize.
What I've done is order a Dell Financial Services refurbished D610 m (1.730 Ghz, DVDRW) with only 256 MB's of RAM. Thru a little lapse in careful attention I orderd 2x 512 MB RAM cards and 1x 1 GB RAM card. What I'd like is a knowlegeable opinion whether I'd be better off using a 1 GB card + 512 MB RAM card or using 2x 512 MB RAM cards I'll probably get another 1 GiG RAM card and max out at 2 GB's, but for the time bein' I think the 2x 512 modules will run dual channel and the 1 GB + 512 MB's modules won't (I don't think this lappy has the "Flex memory" thing )
My original ideer was to get the lappy, not as a desktop replacement and certainly not to WC' like my 2x Q6600 G0's, but as my mobile, surfing, listening to music, fart around boxen to keep from interupting either one of my 2x 24/7 GPU2 + SMP (using clock cycles) , WC'ed, Q6600 G0's
Thanks a moondo for any reply
