My question is, is there anything wrong with 2 different brands? Is having that older version slowing me down alot? Any tips or advice please tell me.
Ok Eric. The PC2700 @ 333MHz is slowing things down.
I would suggest you remove them and use only the 1 gig Corsair Value Select @ 400MHz.
Be sure to put them in the correct slots for Dual Channel mode if your board supports it.
Why would anyone need two gig's of memory anyway ?
Ok a gig and a half but still . :pinch:
Last year 1GB was "high-end"...this year it takes two (or more) to be a BigDawg.Quote:

I have no idea what imasoldier's reasoning is.
Your right , I guess I'm just an old fart . Memory prices are a pain in the ass up down, up again when you have extra money .
ya agree go for a same speed RAM or like what someone mentioned get 1GB ram
