Hello,

I'm currently looking at adding 2 more 1GB sticks of ram to the 2GB Mushkin DDR2 Extreme Performance 1066 I already have, but I was wondering about RAM compatibility. I don't want to spend another $130 on 2 sticks of ram, and was thinking about mixing with some cheaper stuff.

Questions:

Do I have to look out for anything besides RAM / mobo compatibility?

Will I have to match the clock speeds (1066) of the RAM I'm getting to the stuff I've already got?

Any recommendations as to what I should buy?


Thanks in advance for your help / insight.

The speed of the RAM will only run as fast as the slowest stick that is installed. What is your RAM running at right now? Are you OCed? Specs?
