using different RAM size for OCing

[masshass81]

Getting a 35W Mobile Athlon 2400+, using it on an Abit NF7-M (3 Dimm slots)

currently there is 2x128 Crucial PC-3200 with an AXP 1700+..

I also want to upgrade to 512mb of RAM, so can I just get 1x256 Crucial PC-3200? I'm not sure if it would be ok to OC with different size RAM even though it would be same brand and speed.

as long as the speeds are the same there shouldn't be any differences

RAM/FSB OCs with 2 sticks is generally slightly worse than with 1 stick. That would be the only concern really. You may end up at slightly lower RAM speed and / or slightly higher latencies if your intention is to run 2x256. Also the nForce2 doesn't like 512M DIMMs as much as 256meg DIMMs, so even if you're only using 1 DIMM to get your 512, you may end up with a little lower RAM/FSB speed.

cool, thanks. :thumbsup: All I want is a rock stable 2.2Ghz overclock that will run cool on my Thermaltake Volcano 11, just wanted to make sure the odd memory sizes wouldnt keep me from doing that.
