well for one, the more higher sticks you use. less slots they take up.

say you have 1 512 and 2 256's, and you want to upgrade to 1.5gig.

you'd have to buy 2 512's and replace the 2 256's

(assuming you have 3 slots) then you have the 2 256's and cant use em.

performance wise, i've never really noticed a difference. but upgradability. its just planning ahead to get more higher sized sticks if you can.
