Performance with pc2100

[1080jibber]

I have a asus a7n8x deluxe and an xp2000 using 1 stick of 512mb pc2100. By not using the dual channel memory feature and faster ram, how much performance am I losing? Is it a noticeable loss, like 10 or 20% and worht an upgrade or not a big deal cause my processor isn't a 333fsb anyways?

In this case, on average, a performance loss in the single digits - not noticable.

Thanks for the advice, didn't want to blow the money on an upgrade quite yet. Waiting for hammer to come out and knock xp prices down( hopefully ), then i'll load up on some ddr400 and a 333fsb cpu.
