Performance will be marginally better with two sticks, but considering<br>
the overall specs of the system, probably not enough to be noticeable.<br>
<br>
If I can find where I put it, I did have a couple of sticks lying around<br>
that I'd be willing to let you borrow to test. Heck, if I find it, and<br>
it works for you and you make me a reasonable offer, I'd even sell it to<br>
you for a good price.<br>
