In my current rig i have 1x1gb stick of Corsair Value Ram DDR-400. I bought it when ram was cheap(£50) but now it has risen to near £90 so i ain't able to afford a second stick.
I mainly use the system for gaming, but do multi-task often.
What i need advice on is whether i should:
1. buy a second 1gb stick of DDR-400 from a different(cheaper) brand. this means no dual-channel but is it really worth it?
2. buy a 1gb(2x512mb) dual channel kit of cheaper ram, dual-channel them and stick the 1gb stick in the 3rd slot.
Thank you.
