[QUOTE="Rob, post: 116337, member: 176677"] This is funny I have just been on Crucial's web-site and first of all it says, "In newer systems using SDRAM or DDR SDRAM memory, you can use modules of different densities with no problem. For example, if your computer came with a 128MB memory module, you can add a 256MB module for a total of 384MB of RAM. However if you have a "dual-channel" system (?) And want to take advantage of that technology, you will need to ensure that the modules in each memory slot are the same density. So far so good, then I read this on another page of the same web-site:- "Can I mix and match speeds" Memory is designed to be backward-compatible, so generally speaking you can safely add faster memory to your computer. However your system will operate at the speed of the slowest module. Think I'll go and fix the lawn-mower, much more easy. :-DOH! PS. Might be a good idea to transfer these bits to the "Computer Section" as we are blocking this thread. [/QUOTE]
