Do you reckon it's alright adding Crucial to Kingston, will it work ok? Both are PC3200 DDR-DIMM and seem to be very similarily made up, so I'm guessing it should be ok...?

Any advice welcome

I have often mixed ram types, And found it to work okay, Others have had bad problems like system instability and hangs, and even loss of speed. Some i knew would refuse to boot.

Give it a try. If it dosent work get a refund.
