Well I have Windows XP 32-bit. I want to add more RAM to my system since I only have 2GB at the moment, but I've heard that I will not be able to use more than 3GB on my system unless I upgrade my OS. If I buy a single stick of 1GB RAM and add it to my existing sticks will it force my computer to use Single-channel memory since it is an uneven amount, or should I buy two 512 sticks and fill up all my RAM slots... of course I could upgrade to XP Pro 64-bit or even Vista but I'm not sure if I want to do that yet. What would you guys do in this situation?
