Hi,

I have a 512 pc2700 stick of ram and 2 x 256 pc2100 corsair ram, and I'm wondering what's the best way to most efficiently use them. Should I just use the 512 ram and OC my comp, or should I use them all? Which would be best? I have an athlon xp1800 with epox 8kha+mobo.

Generally you get better overclocking results using a single piece of memory versus using two pieces. The PC2700 memory runs faster than PC2100 (266 vs. 333). Use the PC2700 memory if you plan to start overclocking. Good luck!

On that Mobo (Great OCer)..try just the 512 stick and OC the hell out of it ;)...most don't need more then 512 MB of RAM and adding sticks will reduce the best performance chances.
