it will be faster yes but buying 3gbs to make it "help in the future" wont do anything because by the time that u actually need 3gbs the rest of your comp will be useless and u will need to completely upgrade anyway, and u didnt answer my question, did u buy dual channel memory? if u didnt then i say u just wasted your money since the motherboard u posted a pic of supports dual channel and dual channel is twice as fast...
