RAM Question

[panthro]

I currently have 2 x 512mb Samsung DDR 3200 sticks in my rig.

I plan to upgrade to 2GB.....but would it be better if I were to buy 2GB of match sticks, or just buy another 1GB of match sticks?

From a cost effective POV it makes sense to just buy the extra gig, but how would this affect the performance?

Best to go for 2 gig kit 2x1gig sticks as having 4 sticks brings its own problems which im sure someone will be able to point out if you provide info on the motherboard your using but from memory running 4 sticks reverts to 333mhz rarther then 400mhz speeds.
