Hello guys, im going to first start off with the computer i have. http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16883103231
Its a good computer i just want to make it better and smoother, possible play games on it easier. I got the pc for free from my cousin so that make it way better because nothing beats a free pc.

The mother board is able to upgrade to 4gb ddr2 ram and it has a 2gb and a 1gb.
The realquestion: should i buy another of the same 2gb stick that is in there or buy 2 new 2gb sticks?

I have other questions but i should put them in the appropriate board.
 
Solution
Buy 2 new 2gb sticks because sometimes buying a new single stick and putting it with an older stick (even if they're practically identical) can fail.
