Would this be compatible with my system?

yes to the first, depends on what you're doing with them (oc'ing?) for the second
 
sorry about that. I don't really plan to overclock them. Just putting them on dual channel mode and ocing my barton 2500+ to 3200+ speeds. Seeing as how i'm haveing abit of money problems, i'm thinking of what would be the best choice for me. I am thinking of getting an extra 512mb ram. I already have 2x corsair twinx xms 256 pc3200 sticks in my nf7-s in dual channel mode. Should i sell them off and go dual channel with 2x512 or would adding a 512 stick of ram be sufficient? Does dual channel give you a noticable boost? And also can i use any type of 512 ram or does it have to be 512 corsair xms like my 256 ram?
Thanks for the help
 
aha! :D

Should i sell them off and go dual channel with 2x512 or would adding a 512 stick of ram be sufficient?
i would go with 2x512mb.. 2x256 + 1x512mb will probably work too

Does dual channel give you a noticable boost?
for athlonXP.. no. the bandwidth is FSB limited, it's hard to get more than a single channel's worth of bandwidth out of it.

And also can i use any type of 512 ram or does it have to be 512 corsair xms like my 256 ram?
you should be able to use anything with the same rated speed. same timings is an added bonus :D
