I was surfing NewEgg and I saw some interesting stuff; 2GB sticks of DDR2 and some 4GB (2x2GB) kits. I was wondering if it's actually worth it...

Worth it or not? I'm thinking it is.

I'm still leaning toward saving a little money with a dual-channel kit... I don't think I'll use more then 2GB for now...

They'll probably drop in price soon; 256mb is pretty much phased out for much of the market (save, Dell and other low-end manufacturers).

I think I'll wait it out for now; the motherboard I am looking at supports a maximum of 8GB over 4 DIMMs... not like I have the money to max out the board ($800)...
