is this a bad combo? because one guy told me if you put 3 RAM sticks into Asus A7N8X Deluxe Mobo mobo it doesnt do the duel channel thinggy or whatever. but then here is my situation... i use my PC mainly for playing World of Warcraft and it runs much smoother with more RAM in the system.

i got 2 of these... CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145505

but i also got 1 of this for overclocking and it's the best stick i got yet.. CORSAIR XMS 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145575

and if i must use only 2 sticks then i cant use the XMS 1 GB stick for better performance :(

is there any way around this or ill just have to sell the XMS stick cuz it's no use of having it? please help. thanks...
