I have a unusual problem of my current system being unstable with two memory sticks. Either one works great, but the two together bring down my system. I have brought down the speeds to the lowest possible levels, but it does not help.
Im now building a new system not and am wondering if you pro's could tell me how much of a difference does two dimms of 512mb have over a single stick of 1GB ? With all these dual channell stuff on the Athlon 64's, Im wondering how much performance I will lose if I go for a single stick of 1GB.
And by the way, I will be going for :
Atlon 64 3000+ (Or 2800+)
Asus K8N-E Deluxe nforce3 based MB
Xtasy ATI 9600 256MB card
1GB local DDR (Make is never guaranteed here)
SB Live 24bit card
350w psu
Please advise as I need to buy soon !
