Re: Need More Memory
Do you have DDR2 RAM? I assume you do because DDR RAM doesn't run faster than 200mhz I believe.
To answer your question, you do not have to put the exact same RAM in there, unless you have one of the few quirky motherboards out there. The days of having to run identical pairs of RAM are mostly over. However, to answer your question about buyhing a faster stick of RAM.....the computer will only run the RAM as fast as the slowest stick. So if you bought a stick of 512 MB 400mhz and left the 512 266mhz in there, all the RAM would operate at 266mhz.
I hope this helps more than it confuses.
