Ok I am just thinking of adding more RAM into my PC , currently running vista 32bit , I have 2GB of ram so far , the ram I am using now is
OCZ (OCZ2RPR10662GK) "OCZ" Reaper HPC DDR2 PC2-8500 CL5 2GB (2x1GB) Dual Channel Kit with EPP
1066MHz DDR2
EPP 5-5-5-15
- (CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS)

Unbuffered
OCZ Lifetime Warranty
2.1 - 2.3** Volts
240 Pin DIMM

- EPP-Ready
Today I just got my Crucial Balastix Tracer PC2-8500 sent back to me , the thing is the RAM I sent back was a 2GB kit , but they gave me back two single 1GB and told me it should run duel channel. The Spec is
1GB, Ballistix Tracer 240-pin DIMM (with LEDs), DDR2 PC2-8500 memory module
BL12864AL106A
Module Size: 1GB
Package: Ballistix Tracer 240-pin DIMM (with LEDs)

Specs: DDR2 PC2-8500 • 5-5-5-15 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR2-1066 • 2.0V • 128Meg x 64 •
I put the two 1GB tracer ram into my mobo which is Gigabyte EP45-DS3L with my current OCZ ram , I encountered a blue screen just after the vista loading bar , and it restarted and then it just froze , so I took the tracer out then computer is back to normal.......hum.... are there any tips for mixing ram or should I just try sell it and get another 2GB OCZ kit
Please help ~ cheers
