RAM question

[zaako]

hi, I Have Kingston ValueRam 512MB on slot one, i want to add more memory but am not sure what is best to do....should i buy another exact same stick of valueram and add it to slot 3 to use the dual ddr or should i buy crucial ram with same cas latency and same size and same speed (I will still be able to use dual ddr right?) or can i even buy two crucial ram sticks and put them in slots 1 and 3 to use the dual ddr and move the kingston valueram to slot 2...the only thing that i'm hesitant about is buying more valueram because it makes me feel like its cheap quality ram, which im not sure if it is, but can i mix the valueram with crucial to use dual ddr, or should i just go all out and buy 2 crucial 512's and move the valueram to slot 2, and how will moving the kingston valueram to slot 2 affect the other 2 ram modules in dual ddr mode in slots 1 and 3 (will this create a new bottleneck?)

how about, flog the valueram to a mate, and replace it with two sticks of crucial ram at a higher speed?
sure to get rid of any memory probs and u will know everythings running as fast as poss

the valueram is at highest speed PC 3200, just wondering if quality of kingston valueram is bad compared to like crucial, it runs fine though, no problems, stable too, can leave pc on for a month, can i buy 2 sticks of crucial and put the kingston valueram on other slot? or will that affect the dual ddr capabilities of the other two

kingston is a great brand even with value ram...many of the valuram has stickers now that says not dual channel compatible and i think the realeased some befor dual channel cam out that does not work...so yes i would agree with selling it and buying 2 either crucial, kingston (dual channel kit) , corsair or something else
