Mixing memory brands..

[Jones]

Hi guys,

I was thinking of adding a stick of PC2100 memory to my spare slot and
looking around there seems like some bargains.

At present I have two sticks of Crucial (2x512) - would adding a stick
of Kingston of the same (as specified by their site) cause me any
problems.

Thanks!

Not if your mainboard supports that type of memory configuration. There is
usually not a problem mixing memory brands. HOWEVER, some mainboards have a
problem with more TOTAL sticks of ram, or -uneven- numbers of ram sticks, or
even sticks installed in "wrong" slots. -Dave
