That is fairly poor performance. There is much better out there.

If you use three sticks you lose the ability to run in dual channel mode, so it isn't really worth it.
I say get yourself a 512 Mb of TwinMOS value stuff, PC3200 CAS 2.5, then when you can get another stick of it. Costs about £45-50. Overclocks not to bad as well, so you could get faster than that out of it.

Its normaly best to use the most chips you can to fill the sockets.
Would getting a stick of RAM (512MB) give better performance as a PC2700 CAS2.5 stick or a PC3200 CAS3.0 stick.

Corsair, Kingston HyperX, TwinMOS (even their value RAM, it overclocks rather nicely), OCZ, there are a bunch of memory manufacturers out there. If you are not going to overclock then a generic PC3200 stick would be fine. If you want to mess around and overclock, then you'll need something a bit better.
Great service, my RAM took 2-3 days to arrive, and I ordered Sunday.
