Is there going to be a big performance hit when going from HyperX matched
dual sticks of 256 Mb 3200 memory vs. 3 sticks (256 mb in first bank, 512
in second bank and second matched 256 stick in 3rd bank). They are all
the same type of memory (HyperX), have the same Cas latency (2) and have the same specs except thone stick of the three is 512.
If everyone thinks it will take a hit at all I will just buy another 512
stick and keep using Dual Channel.
Any information would help. Thanks in advance.
Dual channel has to be ran in banks 1 and 3 right? The second slot can be used for whatever other type of memory.
My system is as listed below..
MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR nForce2
AMD Athlon XP 3200+ 2.2GHz 400FSB (not overclocked)
Kingston HyperX KHX3200A/512 512MB DDR400 PC3200 Memory w/Heat Spreader (will be in bank 2)
Kingston HyperX KHX3200AK2/512 512MB Kit DDR400 PC3200 Memory w/Heat Spreader (in banks 1 and 3)
