If I could ask a follow-up question.
I have an older system, nvidia geforce2 board, amd sempron 3300 @ 1.8mhz
and one 512m stick on memory, ddr333 64x64.
I have an extra stick 1gb, pc3200 ddr @ 400mhz.
Can I run both or not and will the pc3200 run ok in the system?

thanks for any help/advise,

you might be better
off with getting rid
of that 256 chip

and move that 1 gig
chip to the first slot or

replace the 256 with
an "identical" ram chip
to that of the 1 gig
you have now.

two identical chips
may provide your
system with a boost
via dual channel memory
capabilities.

Does it matter in which slot a stick is installed ?

Belarc Advisor reports:
Slot 'J6G1' has 256 MB
Slot 'J6G2' has 1024 MB

I read somewhere to 'install the largest capacity memory module' in each
memory socket. The 256MB 266MHZ PC2100 is OEM (Gateway). 1024MB 333MHZ
PC2700
added later, but purchased from Gateway.

Thank You
