I have 2 sticks of 512 PC2100 and bought 1 gig stick of Corsair PC3200. They run fine and give me total of 2 gig's, but I read that the 3200 will run at the speed of the 2100. So the question..would it be better to keep running the 2gig at 2100 speed or take out the 2 512 sticks and just run the Corsair?
Thanks

I think you are talking about socket 939. You need to use the PC-3200. The PC-2100 is too slow for your computer.

Get a second 1 gig stick of the Corsair PC3200 and run it in dual channel memory mode (faster). :D

Sell the 2x512 PC2100.
