RAM Confliction?

[Realillusion222]

Hello, I was looking to upgrade to 4gbs of DDR2 RAM.

I first build my rig when DDR2 pretty much came out, so I have some quite dated 533mhz Kingston RAM.

I was looking to stick in some Geil 800mhz that is cheap on OCUK right now, but I was worried about conflictions.

Can you just stick any extra sticks of RAM that you like? Or do they have to be similar to the RAM alredy in my rig.

Thanks a lot.

you'll likely find yourself limited to the speed of the slowest ram - assuming it works in the first place, its not absolutely guaranteed that different ram will play nice together.
