I have 4 RAM channels on my mobo. I already have two sticks of 512 ram. What would you do to get to 2 gb RAM?
A: Get an additional set of 512 mb sticks.
B: Get a single 1 gb stick, allowing a free channel for upgrades later.
Thing is, if I later decide to upgrade BEYOND two gb and I have four 512 sticks, then I'll have to literally ditch some of the chips to provide space for additional, higher capacity sticks. Meh.
Just looking for opinions.
