3 sticks of memory in a socket A mobo...

[666slacker]

cpu: amd 2800+ barton @ 2200 (200*11)
mobo: Leadtek 18DPro nforce2 ultra
memory: 2*256mb samsung

I'm considering adding a stick of 512mb to my comp.

Wll I still be able to run fsb at 200 and dual channel.

If I'm not wrong, for dual channel mode, install your two 256MB sticks on DIMMs 1 and 2 (The two slots closer to the CPU), and the 512MB one on DIMM 3 (The one furthest away from the CPU).

Yeah you're right. Dimm 1 and 2 make up one channel and dimm 3 the second one.

Another question:

Can the "standard/no name" pc3200 sticks be able to run at 3-3-3-X timmings?

I don't know about about the "x-x-x-x" timings well enough, but all cheapo DDR I have seen will do at least CL3 latency, and ram timings are pretty much insignificant on Athlon XPs anyway.
