Mixing RAM
I've been thinking about buying some more ram, because I have read here that some believe that more than 2-4GBs is needed to get proper performance out of W7 x64, but I do not want to waste what I already have. To be able to increase the RAM on both of my rigs, I would need to buy 2 sticks of 2GB, and put one in each rig, along with 3 1GB sticks, for a total of 5GBs each. However, I know that mixing brands and types can cause problems, but if I get the same brand, with the same timings, will that have adverse effects...would dual mode still work?
