well, first of all, i believe you cannot run 3 sticks or ram, you have to have either 1,2, or 4. and why buy 2 more if you already have 1? just buy 1.

right now, i have 2 sticks of 512mb ;          then possibly two more of 1gb each. wouldn't that work out? i saw somewhere on dell"s site a while back for a configuration and there was an option of 3gb. dont ask me, i just saw it. what do you mean just buy 1 more. 1 more gb?

Are you sure the bus requires 667mhz? most systems use 533mhz. If you have 4 slots then you could get 1GB more, or get 2 more 512MB sticks and have 2GB I have this much. And have found nothing yet that will use it.

yea, i'll probably just get two sticks of 512 to make it total 2gb. yes it does require 667 or 533, but i will go with 667mhz. i guess i could get 3gb, but that's just way too much. my system will allow up to 8gb memory, but that's gonna cost a pretty penny.

in some high end macs, you can add upto to a maximum of 16 gb, so you can imagine the price. it is way up in the thousands.
