Hi everyone, first time to build a computer, here is a question to everyone. Will 3 sticks of ddr pc2700 256Mb be faster than 2 sticks of pc2700 256Mb rams?
My mainboard is KT4-V and running XP. I heard people said that 2 rams will be faster than a single one because of the dual memory transfer rate. Anyway, I already had two rams, but I want to know if my computer will be faster to add one more ram, or it is enough now?

2 sticks are faster than one only if you have a Dual DDR motherboard. Having 3 offers no advantage, except for extra memory for ram hungry apps.
