Asus A7N8X Deluxe Memory Question !!

[Almarin]

Bought an Asus A7N8X Deluxe board
Just purchased 512mb PC 3200 stick of this memory.....http://www.googlegear.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80097-12

Will it work well with the board? Will I get better performance if I purchase 2 more 256mb sticks and run them filling all 3 slots? Or will running just the 512mb by itself be perfect?

 

[Nohr]

Two 256MB sticks running in dual ddr mode should out perform a single 512MB stick. If you're wanting to use three sticks like you mentioned I believe the best way is with 2x256MB in dual ddr, and then a 512MB stick in the extra slot.

Corsair memory is nice stuff and will work perfectly fine in that board.

The performance increase for running 2 sticks as opposed to one is not significant - so you might weigh that against the angst of shipping memory back and forth across the nation.
