Ok I have searched everywhere with no luck. I understand that Dual is better and that it is advised to get the same size, speed and maybe manufacturer if you wish to run dual channel.
I have a MB that has 4 channel/slots 1+2 and 3+4 for dual. Currently i have 2x512 Corsair DDR 400 in slots 1+2. (I had 1 first then added the other a few months later no problem)
Now the question I have can I add 2x1Gig Kinston DDR 400 into the other slots and 1 gig at a time so that the config will be 2x512 + 1x1gig = 1.5gig (not Dual) and then later 2x512 + 2x1gig (Dual). Will this work if the manufacturers are different but the same in the dual slots. Or should/must I add 2x512 Corsair or Kingston? :?:
