Another RAM question...
Hello again, This question is regarding if I will be able to run DUAL CHANNEL mode if I use all 3 DIMM slots of my motherboard (256mb pc3200 in each slot) for a total of 768MB? Would this be a considerable advantage than using 2 DIMM slots with 2 256MB sticks in each one (running in dual channel)?
I know the bandwidth would double if I ran in DUAL CHANNEL mode with 2 256MB sticks, but would the Bandwidth be higher if I had 3 sticks of 256MB in each slot? |

Nope. Dual channel assumes you have two banks of equal size. In truth, unless you run CAD or other memory hungry applications, you'll probably be better off with the dual channel 512mb configuration.
