Heres the deal: My computer's RAM slots are organized in a triple channel setup (2x3 slots.) I currently have 3 2GB RAM sticks installed. Originally, I had 3 1GB RAM sticks. I still have those laying around and I also have 3 empty slots i could use. I would like to install 2 of them in order to have 8GB of RAM.
1: Is there any bad side effects of using 2 RAM sticks with a triple channel setup?
2: Would 2GB of RAM add much performance advantage?
3: Would it be best to use all 3 1GB sticks in order to get 9GB of RAM instead?
