I currently have 512 megs of ram... I want to get 1 gig by adding 512 more but is it better to add 256x2 .. or 512x1?
This is my computer's ram stats http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=VAIO+VGC%2DRB30
Thanks

It is this on that site, though...
Many DDR and all DDR2 desktops and motherboards have a built-in feature called dual channel that allows you to utilize the bandwidth of two modules at the same time. For these systems, you need to install modules in pairs for maximum performance, so if youre going to be adding 512MB of memory, you are better off buying two 256MB modules, as opposed to one 512MB one. Again, this information is noted in the Memory Advisor tool to help you get the correct solution.
