I was wondering which would give me better performance. I have 2gb of pc2 6400 ram currently in my rig. I have 2 gb of pc2-5300 laying around. Would i benefit from putting in the 2gb of ram even though they wont run at the same speed? I have vista 64 bit ultimate.

add the extra 2 gb. i have vista 64 bit with 8 gb. 2 gb is not acceptable.

Would I see great improvements even though the ram will be running at 667 instead of 800?
