Ok here it goes...

Is running 512*4 sticks on RAM, the same as running 1GB*2 Sticks on RAM?
(Of course this is for the same series, like Corsair Value RAM 512 and 1GB alike)

If you have some reviews id like to see those too.
 
1 Gb x 2 cause you need single sided 512x4 sticks to run at 400 MHz... Doubble sided 512x4 will run at 333MHz instaed of 400MHz... I hope i am correct on this...
 
Performance wise I don't know.

AFAIK, for overclocking 1GB X 2 maybe better as 512 x 4 will cause a 2T issue for A64 systems atleast (Please correct me if I'm wrong)...

Not sure of pentiums but in A64 systems, 1GB*2 is preferable for better overclocks. 1GB*2 yields better bandwidth efficiency as well probably cos of higher density.
 
*BUMP*

Anyone with more info?

I Really need to know.

I am planning to buy more ram.

So should i sell my 2*512 and get 2*1GB instead????
