ive been told that the problem of mixing different sizes of ram is no longer an issue as it used to be. when did that start? i have 512mb of ddr sdram (pc 2700) on my desktom and want to upgrade. would i be ok with just plugging in a 1gig chip (i have the slot)
If you're buying new RAM sticks and your motherboard supports it, I recommend you buy two 1GB sticks and give away/save the 512MB. Two sticks of the same size work better. Each GB is around $35, so it's not a huge jump in price. Now is a great time to buy memory, it's crazy cheap. [ theymos's advice column | Ask theymos A Question ]
