4 sticks of DDR1 with an AMD set up

[sydeccles]

I little help please.

I was going to add some extra memory to my spare setup, an Epox 9NPA ultra with an Opteron 146. currently with 1GB (2x512MB) PC3200 184pin DDR Memory Dual Channel Kit. Overclockers Value memory.

Is it OK to add an extra 2GB (2x1GB) PC3200 184pin DDR Memory Dual Channel Kit to the other 2 slots in the motherboard giving me (2x1GB & 2x512MB) a total of 3GB?

The reason I ask is that I have read (On the Memory FAQ Sticky ) that AMD cpu’s will not handle 4 sticks of memory as well as two.

Thanks in advance for ANY guidance
Syd

Thanks for the help, basically looks like its not worth bothering, maybe I should look into the options of new mobo, cpu, with some low cost ddr2.
