for a 4gb(DDR 2 800mhz) ram setup,which combination is the best???

1.)4x1gb sticks,(will it act like two seperate dual channels??)
2.)2x2gb sticks,or
3.)2x1gb+1x2gb sticks(two 1gb sticks and one 2gb sticks,would there be any problem with this??also,would there be any problem if the 1gb and 2gb sticks are from different manufacturers??)

thanks in advance for the answers.

Go for option 2. This will run in dual channel for sure.

As a basic rule RAM DIMMS should be of same make and equal density and equal speed and preferrably of same manufacturer / OEM.

^Precisely. 2x2GB 800MHz Corsair XMS2 would be my recommendation.

by the way..what motherboard..you have..??

[adithya217]

thanks for the info,guys.i have a biostar ta690g am2 motherboard and an amd athlon 64x2 6000+ proc.will go for 2x2 gb ddr 2 800 mhz,then.i am not an enthusiast or something like that.so corsair xms will be of no use for me.kingston/transcend should do.any other rams better than them at the same cost???

[Krow]

Kingston 2x2GB should be arnd 2.5k and Corsair will cost u arnd 3k. Better get Kingston over Transcend!

[kale_hemant]

Is the Transcend Ram had any drawbacks? I have been purchaced 2x2gb for my DG41TY.

[Krow]

Nope. It works like a charm, but I have had some problems with them and hence I trust Kingston more. Its a personal thing.
