3 RAM sticks,

nope, other than the dual channel support, you should be fine.
Its not like the old days where you had to install ram in pairs or the system wouldn't even boot .
 
If you have an Intel chipset, you don't even lose dual-channel mode, at least for the "overlapping" part of RAM. For example, with 3x1GB DIMMs, the first 2 GB (1+1) will run in dual-channel mode, and the last 1 GB will run in single-channel mode.
 
Most Intel chipsets will run asyncronous dual channel with 3 dimms, so that's not really lost.

I guess the real question is why & what are you hoping to run?
3x1 GB?

DDR2 is dirt cheap right now...no reason not to have 2x2 GB in your system 😉
 
Asymmetric dual channel is not what you want. According to the specs, the memory addresses are stacked. So you won't gain anything. Their new invention, flex mode, promises to run dual channel over some of it, and single over the rest.

If the modules are 2GB + 1GB +1GB the story is different. Then you have equal amount in both channels, and can run in interleaved mode
