quick question, 2 x 256 or 512?

Hi there, would i be better off using 2 x 256 sticks of pc3200 or one stick of Geil 512 pc3200? The Geil has a blue heatspreader on it so i guess i could overclock it... I want to put it in instead of the 2 x sticks but i was curious on what your computer gurus think. Btw, i am not sure of the brand on the two sticks. I got them when i ordered my computer from ibuypower.com so i dont know how i can tell what they are.

Does your system board support dual channel? If so stick with the duallie pack.

this means you already have the 2x256,.. just stick with it. if it's stable, dont worry about it. the difference between heatspreaders or no on ram is negligable. some say it doesnt even exist. so dont bother there.
