I think this has been discussed, but I did not come away with a clear cut answer, so here goes.
Compare a nForce2 mobo with (2) Crucial 256 MB sticks (in Dual Channel mode)
versus
An nForce2 mobo with (2) Crucial 256 MB sticks (in Dual Channel mode) AND (1) more 256 MB stick.
Assuming all ram is same speed, size, brand, timings, etc.
First Question: Is the effectivness of the Dual Channel lost? If it is not lost completely, how is it affected?
