Can I mix RAM?
-
I'm using PC333 512Mb Ram from Kingston. Can I slot another same spec one from Hynix?
Or can I slot a PC333 1Gb RAM in?
Will it cause my system to be unstable? -
as long as they are of the same type supported by your motherboard, it shouldn't be a problem. different brand, different design is ok. just take note of the maximum capacity your board can support.

Just wondering.....why you need until 1 GB RAM for? I bet 99% of the time, the 1 GB RAM is just sitting there redundantly. 512MB is more than enough. I think even 512MB is also pretty redundant for most of the time.
-
if u open a lot of programs at once, it's faster to switch back and forth if u can have all of them in RAM.

for heavy applications.. like adobe illsutrator or indesign, etc etc.Originally posted by Li Ka Shing:Just wondering.....why you need until 1 GB RAM for?

kns. i 1 gb oso will lag one lor. budden again i got other apps opened, but ram plays an important factor here. -
1gb is the minimum now lah
for the new notebooks -
Ahhh i still using P3
-
it is advisable to use the same brand of RAM, different brand is ok, but make sure tat the specs are the same.. if u mix 333mhz with 533 mhz, the system will run on 333 mhz instead of 533mhz.. it will run on the lower speed.. also take note of the maximum capacity which yur motherboad can support..

Just as long the RAM is of the same standard and is supported by the motherboard. Whether or not your computer specs will read 1GB of RAM is another thing. Motherboards have a certain limit to RAM. Nowadays, most support up to 2GB.Originally posted by BillGates:I'm using PC333 512Mb Ram from Kingston. Can I slot another same spec one from Hynix?
