With 3GB of RAM you will not be dual channel so you'll take a minor performance hit. Just FYI.

But nice setup overall. Especially for the price!

 

how do i get dual channel support?

 

Get 4 GB or 2

 

so what's better...
2 gb dual channel $80 upgrade
or
3 gb $100 upgrade

 

Go for 3gig especially if you run vista ultimate and games on it.

 

/agree..... you wont be running Dual channel but 3>2

 

Can I have the Extra $8?

 

No, 3gb is still dual channel.

 

Nein, It only has 2 memory slots.

 

Care to explain? As far as I know dual channel works in matched pairs, correct me if I'm wrong.

 

I'm pretty sure Dual Channel requires both ram sticks to be of the same size.

 

3GB is not dual channel,only 2 and 4 GB are dual channel
