• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

I have 2x256 ddr2 533Mhz on my system and i want to add another 1Gb. Which should I choose

1)2x512 ddr2 533Mhz and keep running in dual channel mode
or
2)1x1Gb ddr2 533Mhz and no dual channel mode

ps I've read that the differences between dual channel and single channel are not very big is this true?

Thanks in advance
 
well I'd get the two 512mb sticks if your only planning on running 1gb.
 
Simple answer, the dual channel option is better in two ways:

1: It will be a smidge faster.

2: It's cheaper to buy 2 sticks of 512, than 1 stick of 1Gb (usually)
 
Thanx for the replies, much appreciated.

I just ordered 2 512Mb sticks (Samsung -- hope they are reliable :p) which i found on ebay very cheap
