awhile ago my computer broke and i built a new one. I salvaged some parts from my old one like RAM, etc.
Right now in my computer im using 2 512 MB RAM sticks
I have an extra 1 GB stick laying around.
Would it increase my computer's performance if i added it in also?
Both the 512 and 1 GB sticks are PC3200, and all are CAS latency 3, and run at 200 mhz. The brand of the 512 sticks are Nanya and the 1 GB stick is Corsair.
I've been working a lot with video editing and stuff recently and thought the RAM increase would help out a little.
I was thinking of running the 2x512 sticks in the dual channel slots and the 1 gb stick in a separate slot.
the reason im asking is because i thought i read somewhere about performance issues with different brands and sizes of RAM but i don't remember the specifics of it.
any help is appreciated, thanks
