Geil RAM

I currently have 2 x 512MB of the Geil Golden Dragon version of their DDR PC3200 range, and need to add another 1GB before I can upgrade to Vista...

I am having a hard time finding someone selling the exact same type, so was wondering if mixing it with this would do:

I am overclocking my RAM by about 5Mhz and the voltage has not been changed...

I don't have a clue about timings :confused:

... so I haven't touched those!

to be honest, RAM is so cheap at the moment that it might pay you just to get a new set of RAM modules.. I just bought 2GB of DDR RAM (PC3200) for under £80..

if you do mix the modules, don't worry to much about the timings. If you have one set that runs faster on stock than the other, then adjust the system to use the slowest timings. That said, I think the system will do this for you anyway..

Hmm... I don't really want to spend more than £40

Plus I wanted to find out if the RAM I linked to was worse timings wise than my existing RAM...

You'll have to look at the manufacturers website and look at the tech spec for timings then compare with the ones you have.
