Hi. I'm new here and my first trip under the hood of my computer. I have a xxxx (rhymes with yell) computer. It currently has 512MB DDR PC3200 (256x2) and two empty slots and supports a total of 4GB RAM (I verified this with the Crucial System Scanner). My two questions are:
#1 Can I add 512MB each to the remaining two slots, in other words they don't have to also be 256BM, correct? This should give me a total of 1.5GB? Just want to be sure before I order them.
#2 I plan to order 2ea Crucial 512MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM, 400. Both NewEgg and Chief Value show two slightly different model numbers that are just a dollar or so different in price. One is a Crucial CT6464Z40B and the other is a CT6464Z40B.8T. Does anyone know if this ".8T" makes any real difference? Both of these OEM models have exactly the same specs. I will be doing some video editing in the future. Is Crucial a reputable brand with top reliability?
Thanks for any help you can throw my way.

PS Oh yeah, the check will be in the mail ASAP!
