ok...In my system I have 3 dimms in use. all 3 are 256m sticks.
Will this be bad on an NF2? Will I need to replace them with 2 larger sticks? or what?

on ze nforce, there are two channels that when used give you the 128 bit bus - they have to be matched sticks - if you populate all three slots, then you don't get the dual bus feature
1 run 2x512 in one 2x256 in the other

dual channel still works with 3 sticks... bank 0(dimm1) is one channel. Bank 1(dimm2 and 3) is the 2nd channel. Pulled this right of the Epox 8RDA manual

Doesn't have to be matching sticks....
I'm gonna get the TWIN pair of the low latency PC2700 Corsair XMS to run in a dual channel....that will hopefully preform better.
