Ok this is my first post here, so hello everyone!

Now i have a question that i need answered.

I have recently bought a new stick of RAM for my computer (512mb pc3200). I already had 2x 256mb RAM pc3200 installed. Now after putting in the new RAM i have discovered that my RAM is now running at 166Mhz istead of the previous 200Mhz which its capable of. After reffering to my motherboard manual it says i can only run 3 stick of RAM at a max speed of 166Mhz.

My question is, would it be better for me to buy a new stick of 512 RAM so i can run them at 200MHz or would the performance increase be minimal enough to make it not worth it?

Performance increase would be significant.
Most stores offer memory replacment for a discount.
