1GB dual channel vs. 1.5GB single channel

[Bl00dFox]

Very simple question. Is dual channel really that good? Would you keep the 1 GB (2*512) in dual channel or would you rather have the 1.5GB (3*512) in single channel?

Thanks guys

IMO I would go with the 1.5GB, especially if you have alot of background apps running while gaming.

Well, I tried this once in my system, and I got 1.5gb running in dual channel asymmetric (whatever that means) and yes it was with 3*512 MB.

I would also go with the 1.5Gb(Single channel) instead of dual channel....the more ram the better imo.

I've never done a direct comparison, but personally I'd go with duel channel. 1GB is typically plenty.
