Hi

I do not if this is the right section for posting this up, but my dilema is of the following:

Im building my rig over the coming months, thinking about getting a C2D E6600 for my uATX Board. Now here's the problem : Over a period of 3 months I want have 4gb running on my rig for Vista x64, due to budget constraints I cannot afford to buy them in a 1 or 2 hit.

If I was to purchase only a 1Gig stick then install it, even though I know it won't be running dual channel would my rig run okay ???
The Asrock Conroe945G DVI board that I have ordered takes up to 4GB in memory.
 
Single channel only takes about a 3-5% performance hit in bandwidth for overall performance, I bet you would not even notice it
