I've got a compaq c700 with 2x 1gb sticks installed.

It says it doesnt support any higher than this yet it does - other users have installed 3gb and 4gb (in a single stick) and confirmed this to work on their laptop.

However the Q is..

Taking into consideration that the motherboard does not support dual channel would 3gb (1x 1gb and 1x2gb) stick be faster than a single 4gb stick?
 
Thanks mate by one bank I assume you mean there is only 1 way the ram can go into the board even thou it has 2 slots.

its currently got 2gb so im thinking either paying £25 for a 2gb stick or waiting out for a second hand 4gb stick
 
If you feel you need more ram, get one 2GB stick now and see how you go with 3GB. Then if you want 4GB get another 2GB stick. It should still be cheaper than 4GB sticks will be for some time.
