Mac Pro Memory Upgrade.

I have 1GB in the form of 2 x 512MB in my Mac Pro and am looking to install more ram - however I have a question quickly.

It seems more cost effective to buy the 2GB (2 x 1GB) set - is it OK to have 3GB in my Mac Pro?

In my mind the 2 X512MB would be matched and the 2 x 1GB would be matched so it would work correctly - am I right?

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, 3GB is fine.

As long as the RAM is all the same type it should be fine.

It'll certainly work, but will it operate in the fastest dual/quad/whatever channel manner if the sticks are different sizes and most likely brands? There must be a doc on the Apple site explaining the best way to go.
