Memory dilemmas

[Rick]

My PC is Pentium 4 ,1.7 GHz,an intel 850 chipset and 128
RDRAM.Iwant to upgrade to 256 MB and make use of a
graphics card.A hardware vendor told me to purchase a
single 128 MB memory stick while another said that I need
two 64 MB sticks.I have two free slots on my motherboard
and two 64 MB RAM sticks already on the board.How do I go
about doing rhis?
Thanks.

Hi,
RDRAM modules need to be installed in pairs.This means that either you
install two 128 MB Sticks,or four 64 MB Sticks.Since you already have
two 64 MB modules,the cheapest option would be to buy and install
another two of the same capacity.

RDRAM has to be installed in pairs. So you need the 2 by 64 approach.
Make sure you get good quality and correctly matched to what you have.
