I am upgrading the memory on a Dell PowerEdge 1800 Server running Windows Server 2000 (32 bit). My Computer Properties currently reports "2,096,432 KB RAM" (4 modules @ 512MB each).

Crucial.com scan reports:
"Each memory slot can hold DDR2 PC2-5300 with a maximum of 2GB per slot.

Maximum Memory Capacity:  12288MB
Currently Installed Memory:  2GB
Available Memory Slots:  2
Total Memory Slots:  6
Dual Channel Support:   No
CPU Manufacturer:  GenuineIntel
CPU Family:  Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz Model 4, Stepping 1
CPU Speed:  2793 MHz
Installed in pairs of modules."

We will be completely replacing the old 512 MB modules.
Will there be any performance difference between installing 4 modules @ 1GB vs. 2 modules @ 2GB?
