    i have too much DDR. what to do with it?

    i have 2 gaming rigs. both tforce6100, both opty, both 2x1gb ram, both 7900gs.

    rig 1 has 2x1gb corsair xms 2,3,3,6, 2x74gb 16mb raptor raid0

    rig 2 has 2x1gb gskill 2.5,3,3,6, 2x80gb 8mb 7200rpm wd raid 0, raptors coming

    i also have 2 other sets of matching gskill, one back fresh from rma and the other in rig 3 (another tforce / opty, media center).

    so to be clear i have 6x1gb gskill and 2x1gb corsair, 3 computers.

    i tried 4x1gb on rig 3 and defaulted to 333fsb but with oc it seemed to run 400 fine. on xp so only reported/used 3.25gb

    option 1: keep all as is and sell the rma (new) 2gb gskill. its $105 shipped at newegg i could get that on ebay or close to that on here.

    option 2: put 3x1gb in both rigs 1 and 2, sell corsair. its $184 shipped ($144 AR, ends 10-16) at newegg. i could get at least $150 on ebay.

    option 3: i had an option 3 but ill be damned if i cant remember it... i must be gettin old. lossin my freekinmind. JIMMMMZZZZZ! HEEEELLPP MEEEEE!!!!1

    well, if i remember what the hell i was thinkin ill post bacl...if i remember this post. .thanks

    If you use three sticks, you will lose dual-channel, or have the system not boot.

    Sell the more expensive memory and just keep 2x1GB in each system.
