Title says it all. I have 2x2GB Fr.800 and found in my house a 1GB Fr.667 that I can use with the others in Single-Channel. So? (I use my PC for gaming)
 
Solution
Dual channel always.
1 extra Gbyte will be barely noticeable, but the lower Dram frequency and single channel will degrade performance significantly. My bet is your computer will be about 3 times slower.
