ram help please

[rumple9]

I have 4 sticks of ddr 400 ram - 3 are 1gb and 1 is 512gb.

Am I best running with 4gb of ram in single channel mode or just using 2 gb of ram in dual channel mode ?

thanks

Most of the early 64s had mem controllers that wouldn't run 4 sticks at DDR400 speeds. Also you can't run 1T with 4 sticks and 2T is a major performance hit. Just use 2 sticks of 1GB and you'll be fine.
