    Default RAM upgrade.. need advice (single channel or dual channel )

    I currently have 1x512 MB DDR2 533 MHz RAM.
    Am planning to upgrade it to either 1 GB or 1.5 GB RAM...i have 2 options....

    Add 1x512MB ( Total system mem becomes 1 GB and runs in dual channel mode)

    OR

    Add 1x1GB ( Total system mem becomes 1.5 GB but will run in single channel mode)

    My usage is general work related applications like oracle/ visual studio and some 3d/video stuff....
    besides am also a gaming enthusiast Wink...though not a hardcore gamer....

    Pls recommend which option would be suitable for my machine and my usage....will the dual channel 1gb give better performance than 1.5 gb single...if yes then by what percentage ?

    Asus P5LD2-VM (Intel 945G)
