hi expert here, i am a computer noob here that wanna to ask some quesion regarding to RAM.

I wish to buy 1GB RAM which currently i am using 256mb, I hv two slot 4 Bank and each Bank max is up to 1GB, my question is, is it better to put the ram separately which means bank 0=256mb , bank 2 = 1gb or this bank 0=256mb, bank1=512mb , bank2 = 512mb?? is put double side better or put in single side better??
One more stupid question to ask , how to check whether i using dual channel or not? :sweat

Hope to get info ASAP, thx!
