Upgrading memory

Recommended Posts

I just finished my first build and knock on wood, everything seems to be working fine. I am already thinking about upgrading the memory. Currently I am using

1 GIG (2 X 512) Corsair XMS memory.

 

I want to purchase additional 2 GIG (2 X 1 GIG) Corsair XMS memory and I wanted to know if I can use my old ram along with the new ones for total of 3 GIGs. That means 1.5 GIG per channel? Is this possible and if so, will it be stable?

 

Thanks.

I hear its best to not run 4 sticks of ram.. stability issues can arise and usually end up running higher timings. I tried with 4 sticks of ocz and had problems, moved to 2 1gb corsair sticks and have had no problems since. Buddy of mine on a neo 2 platinum nforce 3 board has the same problems until he went to 2 1gb sticks.
