hi all, was thinking to upgrade to 6 gigs of RAM finally, and plunge into the purchase of win7 64bit, my question is, to fill the other 3 RAM slots, does the memory have to be exactly the same as my original 3gigs? or can i get a totally different version, obviously sticking to the same make of corsair?
upgrading RAM, quick question

It might, it might not.
The ram will all run at the lowest speed/loosest timming ram you have in the system.
and try to get ram with the same voltage requirements as the stuff you have, or it will just be a pain in the ***

I have had all sorts of problems installing different brands of RAM in the same PC before. As said above, with the RAM prices high, you may even make money if you sold your 3GB kit now in order to subsidise the cost of a 6GB kit. SO I would advocate getting the 6gig to replace the 3 gigs
