Which Ram should I choose

Should I buy one(1) stick of

You can't run three sticks of RAM in dual channel mode, if you do all of the RAM will revert to single channel mode.

Get ONE stick of Kingston 184 Pin 512MB DDR PC-3200. You can always underclock the new RAM to match the speed of the old RAM, or try overclocking your old RAM to match the speed of the new stuff (doubt that'd work with the picky dual-channel memory controllers tho)

I should just circulate the board and post "What Cleeve said" after his every post. I would be an ancient poster in no time...

What Cleeve said... :smile:

Besides, the PC3200 is often the same price as the PC2700 and you can always underclock the 3200 to 2700 speeds...

If i put the 3200 in the dual channel with the 2700 hyperx i already have will the 3200 automatically underclock itself? Also i have the asus a7n8x deluxe mobo and i read on another post that i could run them in dual channel dispite their speeds because it runs the ram on individual (pipes?) rather than a single one at 128 or something like that.

(man having an unmonitored computer at work is great)
