ok so I have upgraded my system and I have in total 3 sticks of ram:
2x 512 corsair value (pc3200)
1x 512 kingston value (pc2100)

To play my games, should I just dual channel the 512s and leave out the older one or add all of the sticks.
Which is better performance-wise?

would that mean that 256mb 3200 ram>512mb 2700 ram?
well i think theres a limit on how low the amount of ram u have can go and still perform well on games, 256 you'll just run out of room, and then itll go to your Hard drive for memory storage and then you'll notice a BIG drop in performance as using your hard drive for memory is slow.
