Hey i have 3 computers that are purely Boinc machines.

they each have 512mb of ram 2x256 ddr,
they are all running in dual channel mode obviously.

i have 3 more sticks of 512, but if i add them i will gain 50% more ram in all three computers but lose the dual channel feature.

is it worth it?

Maybe an option :

Put 2 * 512MB into one box, 4 * 256MB into the second and the remaining sticks into the third.

You will not loose Dual Channel on all boxes then.
