You will allmost certainly have to clock the system down to DDR333 speeds or below

they will all work fine together at PC3200, the board supports a max of 2gig PC3200

They will work fine
Is that a dual channel motherboard?
Technically i think you can run dual channel with 1x512 and 2x256 if you put them in the right slots.
Probably won't work as they are different chipsOriginally Posted by H@rd$tyle
You should still be able to run dual channel - just make sure the 2x256 is in one channel, while the 512 stick is in the other channel.
I run dual channel with two different brands of stick.

original K8N Neo is s754 so no dual channel and iirc if you fill all the sockets then it drops down to DDR 333

But he's only gonna fill 3 out of 4 sockets, so it will be fine.
But its a K8N Neo which is socket 754
so it only has 3 DIMM slots. Iirc from when I had one it said in the manual if all 3 DIMM slots are filled it drops it down to DDR 333 speeds

Just had a read of the manual and it seems you can have 3 modules at DDR400, but only ONE module can be double-sided. Also it only supports 2gb at DDR400 compared to 3GB at DDR333, but that doesn't make a difference in this case.
For reasons, see posts below

Intels spec for PC3200 only applies to 1 Stick per channel, allthough you can usually get away with 2, but never 3.
The tracks are simply too long to run at 200 MHz reliably.
As the Motherboard is a simgle channel motherboard, thats 3 sticks per channel.
