I have a new mobo on the way, it's a;
XFX GeForce 8200 Motherboard - NVIDIA GeForce 8200, Socket AM2 / AM2+, MicroATX, Audio, Video, DVI, HDMI, PCI Express 2.0, Hyrbid SLI, USB 2.0, eSATA, RAID, CMOS, DebugLED Displayoard
Going to be running the AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ 2.60GHz Black Edition Socket AM2 Processor and the XFX GeForce 8500 GT Ultra Silent Cooling Video Card - 512MB DDR2, SLI Ready, PCI Express 1.0 x16, (Dual Link) DVI, VGA, HDTV
and it is coming with this ram;
Crucial 2048MB PC5400 DDR2 667MHz Memory
Crucial 1024MB PC5400 DDR2 Memory
URL for the barebones kit is here;

Now I know these won't run dual channel but I have a pair of 800mhz corsair high performance 1gb sticks that are designed to run dual channel.

(Corsair XMS2 TWIN2X2048-6400C4 2GB 2X1GB PC2-6400 DDR2-800 CL 4-4-4-12 240PIN Dual Channel Memory )
I'm definitely going to install the two corsair memory sticks. However I'm wondering if I would be loosing out by also throwing the 2048 stick into a third slot to max out my 32 bit vista home premium at 4 gigs of ram. If I put in the third stick would I loose alot of speed or my dual channel capabilities?
What do you people recomend? I am upgrading mainly for DV rendering capability (non-linear calculations)
