I have heard that 2 512 are better than 1 1024 but i think that 1 1024 will allow me to add more later if I want but I want to hear everyones thoughts

the 2 512 are better because they dual channel if your mobo supports it... go with 2 512 sticks

are you overclocking?

 

[Sp4rtan]

yeah Iam overclocking but isn't dual channel only with pentium ( I am using amd X2 4400)

 

[Static_11]

i very highly doubt that intel only dual channels... ok.. if your oc'ing then get the most expensive..

No, socket 939 AMD boards support dual channel as well.

Actualy, Intel does not support Dual Channel memory. Only AMD does, Socket 939.

 

[Sp4rtan]

really....so am I better off getting a dual channel RAM instead of these?

 

[Ste]

Yes, 2 sticks of 512 will perfrom better then 1 stick of 1024.
