when is one stick better than two?(memory)

[bsxiong]

hi all,

I want to upgrade my rams but what i found out at tigerdirect.com is that they are selling two ( 512(x2) pc3200 ddr 400mhz ) for about 154.99 and 1 stick of 1024mb pc3200 400mhz for 189.99. I just want to know if there is any different between using two 512mb compare to just 1 1024mb.

Is the 1024mb a much faster one or will the two 512mb be no difference.
or is it that the 1024mb cost more because it saves space?

thanks yall

The 1024mb stick leaves more room for more sticks that's it

Exactly, your just paying extra for the better engineering...
