RAM question... - Underdog - 08-22-2005 02:38 PM
My new computer came with 2 sticks of 256mb DDR2 (4200) RAM... I wanna double it, and have a gig of RAM. Would DDR2 let me simply add a 512mb stick, or would I have to add 2 256mb sticks so that they all would match... I know with earlier RAM like everything had to match perfectly.... was just wondering what I can do with DDR2 RAM... Thanks...

Just get two sticks of 512 MB. How many slots do you have for it anyway?

The best performance is less sticks, however. The way i would go is 2 512 MB sticks. But, you will be fine just getting 1 512 stick and using the current 2 256 sticks as well. Put the 512 stick in the first ram slot though.

564? Huh?
001000110100 = 564
001000000000 = 512
Why would the make 564? That'd be like making a 312 stick. Or a 260 stick.
