Ok.
I bought my computer 2.5 years ago. (Well, actually I told my dad to buy one.) Back then, I didn't know much about computer hardware. If I did, I would have built my own computer. So now I'm stuck with the HP Pavilion a5040a. Anyway, it came with 512MB RAM @ 400MHz. It also came with Windows Vista. You could probably see where this is going.
So then, I went to buy some more RAM chips. Back then, I didn't know that RAM had different speeds. I just thought that it was DDR2 DIMM and that's it. The guy at the hardware store gave me 2 DDR2 512MB @ 667MHz. It worked well.
For some reason yesterday, I decided to buy more RAM. I got a Kingston 1GB 800MHz chip.
My question now is:
Would it be better if I took the 400Mhz chip out to give a total of 2GB or leave it in and have a total of 2.5GB but with a base speed of 400MHz?
Thanks
