Mixing RAM Types

[Sahrin]

Alright, on one of my "toy" PC's (actually it might be the one in the sig) I'm running 512 (256MBx2) of GeIL Golden Dragon PC3200 RAM in an A7N8X Deluxe mobo (Dual Channel, obviously). I know the nForce 2 was sensitive to mixing of memory types and speeds, and I'm wondering what you guys think of me adding a single stick of 512MB in one Bank and the 2x256MB in the other, of difference brands (the other option is the get a CL2.5 stick of Golden Dragon (I can't find any reasonably priced CAS2.0 Golden Dragon) from Newegg, and just run the memory at CL2.5 What do you think?

On my nforce2 board i was running 2 256 sticks, one a kingston pc2700 one and the other a crucial pc3200 one, and it worked fine.

as long as the 256mb sticks are single sided you should be fine, but if I recall correctly the A7N8X didn't like 3 dual sided dimms and lowered the speed down to PC 1600 for stability if you used 3 DS dimms, but 1 DS 512mb stick and 2 SS 256mb sticks should work fine.
