Hey, sorry guys. I didn't mean to spark an argument here. I stated that this
may not be the 'best' newsgroup to ask the question but I figured it would
be an easy answer for those on here.
Two points that may concern hardware was whether WinXP would function ok
with the different type of stick installed. I have noticed a slow down with
only one 512 stick operating which does affect the operation of my WinXP
system. Plus my MB instructions suggests "For Dual-channel DDR (128-bit)
high performance, at least 2 or more DIMM modules must be installed." That's
the reason for asking if I can install two different sticks. Otherwise I'd
just install the 1meg(DDR400) and take out the 512(DDR333).
I'm still not sure is installing the two stick will give me the 128-bit if
there are different size.

Anyway, sorry if I ruffled your feather Mr. Smith.

One of my 512 memory stick went out. System only recognizes 512 instead of
1gb. To check I took it out and tried it in another system- no go.
Here's the question and I know it's probably not correct newsgroup but
should be simple answer for you sys gurus.
The sticks are ddr333, 512meg, 184 pin. I have a extra ddr400, 1gb, 184
pin
stick.
The instruction for the MB says up to 4 gig and ddr333.

Will the ddr400 work w/o messing up system?


Why ask here? Your question has nothing to do with with OS (you did
notice the letters X and P preceeding the word Hardware in the group
title, right?)

Dear Mr Smith,

What part of XP is hardware?

Please enlighten me as to what kind of posts should be in this newsgroup?
