What would be better

[sand1070]

Hello,
I have 1 stick of 512mb pc3200 ram in my pc.
A friend just gave me 2 sticks of 256mb and 1 stick 512mb pc2700 ram.
I was wondering which would be better in my pc, the 1 stick pc3200 or the 3 sticks of pc2700.
I have an ASUS A7V600 mobo, AMD Athlon XP 3000 cpu.
Thank you.

I would go with 2x 512MB + 1 of the 256MB. Dual Channel is worthless on the Athlon XP the extra ram is better.

Should I use all pc2700 or mix the pc2700 with the pc3200?

You can mix. Like I said, use the 2x 512 and one of the 256.
