windows cant support 3g or more memory.
which means u get 3g max memory. so if u want 3g in dual channel, u need 2x1g ram + 2x512 ram. but 3g ram is usually over kill. 2g ram is usually enough for anything u do.
so i recommend u gettin 2x1g ram.

well thats some handy information to know, well what do you think about the value RAM i linked to above, i am not interested in OC my ram so i don't see an issue with it. thanks for the help.
 
well with windows XP id get 2x512 since it cant take any use of a 1gb stick... vista will be able to tho so u might wanna get ur comp vista ready... up to you buddy... but 2x512 would work faster than 512 and 1gb together

Windows xp runs fine on 256 mb of ram, its the games that take up ram. If you are playing games Id go with 2gb, 1gb is pretty good but you might as well get 2.
