I currently have 2gig (2x1gig) of this memory in my computer:
http://www.techbuy.com.au/p/62593/MEMORY_DDR-2_RAM/Corsair/TWIN2X2048-6400C4.asp

I'm looking at getting another 2 or 4 gigs of memory, but cant find 4gig (2x2gig) of ram thats exactly the same as what i already have. I've found this:
http://www.techbuy.com.au/p/84426/MEMORY_DDR-2_RAM/Corsair/TWIN2X4096-6400C4DHX.asp
as far as i can tell, it has the exact same specifications and timings, just looks different. Would it be ok to mix these two types of ram?

Thanks

The links don't work for me. The memories can be mixed, but the speed of this will be the slowest of them.

oh, sorry about that. If you copy the text into your address bar they should work.

Best comparison of the two is here:
http://www.corsair.com/_datasheets [...] 6400C4.pdf
http://www.corsair.com/_datasheets [...] 0C4DHX.pdf

They look as good a match as any I've seen. Both are exact same speed, timings and voltage. If any RAM should work together, these should. Make sure you're delivering 2.1V thru BIOS to these - more important with 4 modules installed.
