I currently have 1GB of DDR PC2700, in the form of two 512 chips. There are two vacant slots remaining and I wish to upgrade to 1.5 GB.
Economically it would make more sense to buy one stick of 512, but I have read that RAM will function at its maximum potential if two sticks (two 256 chips) are installed in tandem.
If I were to purchase a single 512 stick and leave a slot vacant would I be limiting the performance of my RAM?
