More the better, or the faster the better?

At the moment i have 2 sticks of 512mb pc2700, two sticks of 512mb pc3200 and only 3 ram slots.

Would it be best to use 2 pc3200 stick and 1 pc2700 and run at 2700 speeds or just stick to 2 sticks of pc3200 and go for faster but less ram?

It depends if you're going to be doing anything that requires more than 1gb of RAM.

What do you use your PC for and what OS are you running?

Windows xp and usually just gaming, battlefield 2, CS:S and wow mostly. I'm guessing go for 2 3200's then?

1GB should do you fine, newer games however (and BF2) need more than 1GB to run smoothly on highest settings.

Personally I'd test out the PC2700 sticks and see if either of them will run at PC3200.

It it does, and your motherboard doesn't support Dual Channel (S754 or older) then I'd go for 3 sticks to make 1.5gig RAM.
