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+ (754 pin)
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
I love the A8v Dlx (939pin), but am worried about the ATI-VIA chipset issues. Will the above situation completely change if I go with a Athlon64 939pin CPU and 1 stick DDR ? How much performance is lost in this case ?
