I am looking to upgrade my RAM configuration. I am running 2 x 256 sticks of PC3200 DDR in dual-channel mode. I have 4 total RAM slots. I want to buy 2 x 512 DDR matched sticks and put those in my remaining 2 RAM slots. As far as I know, with the 2 x 256 and 2 x 512 both in the mobo, if I keep the channels matched between each corresponding stick of RAM, I should still be able to run in dual channel mode. Therefore, I would have a total of 1.5 GB of dual-channel RAM.
I was told by a friend that this is not possible.
Can I run this configuration while still utilizing dual-channel mode?
Thanks.
system specs:
Dell Dimension 4600
P4 2.6 GHz w/HT
2 x 256 DDR PC3200
chipset intel i865PE
