I have same mobo and use 128mb Hynix + Transcend 512mb DDR 400 but didn't getting performance (though PC didn't get Crashed all work OK) as we used to get with 640mb RAM:x , on advice from Ch@os I remove 128mb RAM and now I can experience the Good speed.:)

He is using two DDR400 sticks so there will not be any performance lags. Both sticks will run at the maximum frequency supported by the 845 family, or DDR1 for that matter.

I dont think dual channel is available on the 845's neway so you wont face any (possible) performance lags.

If DUAL channel is not then no probs in using them
