Advice please

Hi I havent tryed Battlefield 2 yet as my parts havent arrived.

I was wondering how ram would work in my motherboard I mean I have 4 slots and 1 is used by 1 gig of ram and the other is used by 256 stick should I just purchase a fresh stick or could I throw in 2x256 sticks and get decent performance?

Specs:

AMD 64 3200+
MSI MS7093 Ati Radeon Express Motherboard
MSI Nvidia 6800 256mb pci express
1 gig pc3200 + 256 pc3200
2x80 gig hardrives
17inch lcd
4 meg connection
audigy 2 zs soundcard

I hope to play Bf2 at medium settings and hopefully smoothly :) just need advice on wether i leave my current ram setup as it is for the time being.

Re: Advice please

Buy another stick of 1 gig pc3200 and don't use your 256mb stick. And then, check your motherboard guide to place your two stick of memory correctly for dual channel operation

Re: Advice please

yeah another gig (to make 2 gigs) would be the beest for bf2 and if u have a 6800, i recommend reading about how to unlock the pixel pipelines to make it somewhat equal to a 6800gt or 6800ultra (pipleline- wise that is)

And this unlock thing sounds interesting will it damage my card at all?
