For socket 939, dualcore, which would be faster, lower latencies 4 x 512 sticks of ram, or 2 x 1 gig each higher latency, total would be 2 gig of ram.
 
doubt you would notice any difference at all.

personally, i'd go with 2x1gb... ;)

Agreed on both counts. I have run 4 x 512mb and 2 x1gb on my A8N32 SLI with Opty 165. At the same speeds, I could only tell a difference in benchmarks. Playing BF2 there was no visable difference.

The only drawback I found is that 4 DIMMs would not OC as well as 2 DIMMs. So, if you want to OC, I'd give another advantage to 2 x 1gb.
