Is there a benefit of running 2 sticks of 512k PC3200/DDR400 in dual channel mode vs. 3 sticks of the same memory (for a total of 1.5g).  I had read that the "sweet spot" for Windows XP was around 1gb of ram.

I play quite a few games (Doom 3, Sims 2, etc.).  Does the dual channel outweigh the extra 512k of memory?  I am using OCZ Enhanced Latency memory.
