D DJ-CHRIS Golden Master Messages 8,010 Jun 30, 2005 #3 It's not the timings or anything But get 2x 512 sticks because they can overclock better, and also run dual channel which doubbles your memory bandwidth

A Alex81388 Daemon Poster Messages 1,446 Jun 30, 2005 #8 I'd say two sticks. Of course the dual channel, timings are better, i think they are cheaper, and you won't be needed 2GB anytime in the near future.
