All memory chips need to be the same size, MHz, and brand. This is for best operation or for it to operate at all. If not using Dell brand memory, Crucial is guaranteed to work in Dell's. Kingston Value Brand (KVR) is one to avoid.
I read in another post there can be an issue with volts if the RAM isn't guaranteed to work in Dell's. I also remember another where the person had mixed RAM and to Dell Community they came.
Having matching chips isn't just Dell or Precision, but for most PC's in general.
This is the first I heard of the T3500 preferring the chips in 3's. Someone else would have to chime in on that one.

I edited the above post to replace "Corsair" with "Crucial."
