Hi guys,
please excuse my ignorance but ...
I'm looking to add more RAM to my wifes PC. She's got an Athlon 2600 XP with 3 banks, 512, 512 and 256. I was after a 1 gig stick to replace the 256, but it looks like you can generally only buy matched pairs now. 2x 1Gb DDR2 seems to be going pretty cheap. Is DDR2 ram compatible with older motherboards? I'm assuming that she's got the older DDR in there at the moment... Also, do I need to use the ram in pairs, or could I buy the 2 pack and use one myself?

. If she does spot it stuf your "RAM" in her "slot" and that'll shut her up.
