All the sticks will run at the speed of the slowest stick, installed. So if you put in that PC2-5300 stick, all the sticks will run at that speed. I suggest you take that one out, so the 8500s can run at their designated speeds, instead of slowing down. | |

| Re: 2 sticks better than 3? also running an odd number of sticks will inhibit you from running them in dual-channel. no bueno.
