Hello I recently purchases a asus av8 mb and corsair 3200 dual channel ram. Now I have 1 512mb stick of samsung 2700 in my old mb can I install the dual channel as well as the 512mb stick? Thanks

You can install the chip, but it will have to be installed in slot1, and you will lose your dual channel capabilities.

So you shouldn't do it.
