    Hey guys.
    Just wondering, if I have 2 gigs of one brand of ram can I add 2 gigs of
    a different ram to total to 4 gigs?
    Now I know Vista 32Bit will only pick up 3.25 but for an
    extra 60 euro I'll get an extra 1.25 so is probably worth it?

    I've never had any problems mixing brands on my Desktop or Laptop as long as it's the same type should be fine.

    Dont know if 'dual channel' on your mobo will work 100% as they wont be a matched pair but the RAM itself will be fine.

    Yeah I'm hoping so. Ram speeds will be the same.
    Was going to get some OCZ ram but I changed my mind and will now get
    Kingston, the same as my current ram but despite the same brand name I feel they are different models.
