2 1gb ram dual channel with 1 2gb of ram

[user78792]

The title says it all.
Will that work, or should I get another 2gb of ram? But I don't really need 6gb of ram.
I play games on this PC, it's got an Asus p5b with a dual core clocked at 2.33ghz and an Nvidia gtx 650 ti.
It's actually not that bad, it runs most games well, it's just the lack of ram is the problem here.

I'm getting a new PC, next month, for about 1000€, and I plan this pc, that I have right now, to be my second PC.

So is 2 1gb of ram, and 1 2gb of ram ok?

no not really.
It'll act up and cause weird problems.

Ok, thanks, but what about 4 1gb of ram?

If it's sold as a 4x1gb set it's okay.
Mixing ram sets in general is not a good idea.
