I have not seen any real life difference, but I have not benchmarked them, I prefer to use 2 slots over 4. So down the road you have room to upgrade.

There are those who contend that the 512MB modules will be faster the the larger modules.

I've read somewhere that some nforce motherboards cant handle 4 sticks of pc3200 ram, and if you have 4 sticks of ram it makes them all run at pc2700. I dont know if this is what we have in your case, but I would recomend 2 sticks over 4 anyday.

I personally run 4 sticks of 512MB... it was cheaper than buying two 1GB sticks
