Memory Question

[Fokz]

Right now, my computer can only support of to two sticks of 128 sdram.... I want to buy some more RAM right away because it is needed badly. I am also going to be upgrading my computer, so if I were to buy a stick of 256 MB DDR Ram, would it still work on my computer but just run at 128 MB or would it cause problems and not work?

Yeah, it would work, you can buy a stick of DDR400 and stick it in there, but it will only run as fast as the current stick you have in there.......

U cannot add DDR-RAM into an SD-RAM slot.

I got a 128MB and a 64MB in it right now.

....I don't know who to believe here :|
