just to add..i read somewhere not to include the 256s as these in the second slots slow down the higher ones (512s) in first slots. is this true? not seen much improvements but have only been back online a short while, will make my opinion over a little time.

the overclocking seems too much effort for little rewards gained..im not a pc gamer at all so no point really, got the consoles for that. btw with the fresh thermal paste and a clean the computer did sound alot quieter on start-up when the fan kicks in before settling down again. will try a few things to put it to the test tonite.

Thats what i said in the previous post dude, for dual channel to work corectly, all memory must be of the same size and speed.

Thanks pal. do you think i should leave the 256s in there or just have 1gb (2x512s), or should the smaller ones not affect anything?

you should be fine with the memory left in.
