I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 640m laptop and talked the sales people into upgrading the memory from 512mb to 1gb. Surprise, surprise, when it arrived, it only had 512mb as 2 sticks of 256mb.
I complained and they promised to send me 1gb which arrived today as 1 stick of 1gb. So, I have a choice and this is where I need your suggestions...
As it is now, I have 1 stick of 1gb and 1 stick of 256mb installed, a total of 1280mb.
I can leave it like that or complain and get 2 sticks of 512mb for proper dual-channel 1gb.
My knowledge in this area is thin at best - am I better keeping 1280mb made up of mixed modules or changing to 1gb of matched modules?
Thanks a lot.
