Thanks so much for all the info. I just checked back in after running the different brands and speeds of ram for 3 months and they work great together as far as I can tell. According to Lavalys Everest the installed memory modules are: DIMM1: Hyundai HYMD264 646B8J-J 512 MB PC2700 DDR SDRAM (2.5-3-3-7 @ 166 MHz) (2.0-3-3-6 @ 133 MHz) Field Value DIMM2 GB Micro DDR 512 MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM (3.0-3-3-8 @ 200 MHz) (2.5-3-3-7 @ 166 MHz) (2.0-2-2-6 @ 133 MHz) I went to crucial.com at Kain's suggestion and it for some reason doesn't distinguish between the 2 sticks and just recommends an upgrade to 2G instead of the 1G that is there. Thanks again for all your help you guys are great!!

thanks for your help. I did find something on the PCWorld site about mixing RAM of different speeds and they said there was no problem except that the RAM would run at the speed of the slowest stick. FRom that I assume I can but will not get the performance boost that I'd get with sticks of the same speed and manufacturer. I'll wait and see if anyone has anything else to offer on it before installing it.

I am a newbie and not too bright when it comes to hardware. What I want to know is whether I can put 512K PC2700 166mHz non-ECC sdram in the same computer with 512K PC2700 333mHz non-ECC sdram and have them work properly. I have Hyundai Ram in slot 1 which is the 166 mHz stick and I bought 512K of gb micro RAM Am I going to have stability and other problems if I install them on the same motherboard? Motherboard is ASUS A7V8X-LA with an AMD 64 processor thanks for any help
