If I put in 3 sticks of memory instead of 4 into a 939 board what will happen? Will I lose any speed? Would it be better to have just 2 and make 1GB or the 3 and have 1.5GB.

Yup, better to run it paired - the extra 512 probably won't be too important under XP; unless you're running Vista in which case the extra memory might actually be a good idea.
I'd try to get another stick (it'd be pretty cheap) and then you'd have 2 pairs :)

Thats what I am going to do. Run 2 pair.
