Nforce 2 memory question

[jeggsy]

I have an Abit NF7S motherboard with Nforce 2 chipset and had a question about the memory.

At the moment I have 2x 512Mb Corsair PC3200 CL2 DDR sticks installed which means I have an empty memory slot.

From what I remember, with the Nforce 2 chipset, if you have 2 memory sticks installed then it works in a faster dual-channel mode.

What would happen if I installed a similar memory stick in the empty slot. Would it still work in this faster dual-channel mode ?? Would I loose any performance from adding another stick ??

Cheers for your help guys.

Anybody have any experience with OCZ memory ??

Can get a 2Gb (2x1Gb) OCZ EL PC-3200 Platinum XTC Edition DDR kit from work for a really good price and wondered if it was any good.

I would have thought that it should work OK with my setup and then sell my old Corsair DDR for a few £££.

Any thoughts ??
