New Ram - Suitable?

[GangsterAngel]

Hey guys, ive just purchaced "2x1gb sticks of ddr2 533 cl4"
from the members market. and im just wondering if this is going to make a huge diffrence to my system?

Ohh and ive never opend up this computer, Does anyone know if my Motherboard has space for 3 Sticks? and/or they will work well together.

and any ideas on what i require the most ( other than ram ) , would be appreciated too.

Thanx! , GangsterAngel

Google says if it's the M2N, M2N-SLI or M2N-E or M2N-MX it's got 4 slots. If it's the M2N-MX SE it's got two slots.

Thanx, not sure what eddition iti s, but from the sounds of it theres more chance it will have 4

Right ok, ive got the new ram , But some of the speeds seem quicker on my old stick.
what i need to know is, Would it be better for me to keep my old Stick (DIMM2) in MIMM0
and not have the 2 matching Crucials together? ,
