I have a gig of PC3200 DDR, and 1.5GB of PC2700 DDR, and i was wondering which would perform better. The 3200 is dual-channel, and my mobo supports it, i just need to know which one of the set ups will give me better performance. Any input is appresiated.

The dual PC3200 in dual channel will perform better.

That a tough one and really depends on your ram usuage. I would say for most people I would go with the gig of pc3200 ram but if you someone that uses ALOT of ram the 1.5GB will perform better when your ram usage goes over 1gb.

Yeah, everyone is gonna tell you that 1gb of PC3200 dual channel is gonna be much better for you, it runs faster and smoother. But if you use big business applications, or edit huge files all the time (like 20mp photographs or hi-def video's), then that 1.5gb might come in handy for you. But otherwise, even when it comes to gaming, the 1gb is more than enough for you and will speed up your computer.
