ram question

[Troll2k]

I believe there is no difference in memory.It is a matter of how you motherboard addresses the memory.

If you motherboard only supports dual channel then putting in all 3 will run in single channel mode.However if you just put in 2 sticks it will run in dual channel mode.(provided you have it in the correct slots)

I suspect 4 gigs of 2 channel would be better than 6 gigs of single channel.

Some motherboards support "hybrid" memory addressing.If you install 3 sticks then 2 will run in dual channel and 1 will run in single channel mode.
