Mixing Memory?

[Simian]

I've got a (slightly) re-vamped system (was an Advent T9002 but I had to replace the Mobo), its an AMD 3400+ (S754), with 512Mb PC3200, which according to CPUz, and the AMD version of CPUz, is Manufactured by Samsung.

The question I have is this:

I want to upgrade my memory to at least 1Gb, but I don't want to shell out too much, I've been looking at the 'Value' types of RAM (here and elsewhere ) but I dunno if its alright to mix the RAM??...

Can I have 1x Samsung 512Mb and 1x Value 512Mb or should I get another 1x Samsung 512Mb...

Cheers
Sim

Yer its fine to run mixed stuff

you are fine runing mixed sizes, as long as they are the same speed

you are often fine running mixed speeds (all the faster memmory will just run at the lower speed) but this can cause crashes or failure to even start your pc.

Alsays go for the the same if you can.
