[QUOTE="Bill K, post: 851751, member: 73871"] It is recommended to stick with the same type of RAM for expansion as far as the brand and speed ratings. While mixing different RAM can sometimes still be recognized and work it can lead to potential timing issues and possible BSOD issues in time. Windows should automatically recognize the addition of new RAM and alert you to the change during the initial boot process after installation. Other than some potential additional heat and power usage there shouldn't be any downside that I'm aware of, and obviously the system should run noticeably faster particularly when running multiple programs simultaneously. Good luck and let us know how it goes! :cool: [/QUOTE]
