I have just brought 1gb of Ballistix Tracer memory, PC4000, DDR500... http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.Asp?IMODULE=BL12864L503 Will this be alright with 512mb of Ballistix DDR500 PC4000? http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.Asp?IMODULE=BL6464Z505 I was just wondering if you needed a matching pair or wiil it not paform as well? Please let me know? Thanks
I'm assuming you're on A64 or P4. Unless you are using one of the much newer Intel motherboards, inserting two different sized modules means that you will lose dual-channel mode, which has a significant effect on memory bandwidth. However, the real-world impact isn't as huge as the figures would have you believe - it is still preferable to have it on, though.
EDITED: lol, the tracer memory is one 1gb stick & 512mb is one stick so it should run fine, theres no differance 'sept the leds (Also he's running an A64 3700
