Building a system with:
-Asus K8V SE Deluxe VIA Socket 754 ATX Motherboard / AGP 8X / Audio / Gigabit LAN / S/PDIF / USB 2.0 & Firewire / Serial ATA
-AMD Athlon 64 3700+ / 1MB Cache / 1600MHz FSB / ClawHammer Core / Socket 754 / Processor
Wondering if it would be better to get 3x512mb of Ultra 512MB PC3200 DDR 400MHz CL3 Memory (cause its cheap $37cdn each) or if I should go with a 1gb stick of something else? Any performance issues of having 3x512 vs 1x1gb or anything I should know before going through with this (this is my first build so bear with me).
Upgrading of the system is very unlikely and will be used for internet/music/word processing mainly with a bit of light gaming (looking at a 6600 vid card)
Thanks
