I actually wished to buy another 512MB chip. Is it like 256Mb+256Mb will deliver a better performance compared to a single 512MB chip?
Most newer chipsets can support RAM sticks in matched pairs that will operate at a faster speed than a single RAM stick or mismatched sticks.
However, the improvement in machine speed and responsiveness rendered by adding 512 IN ANY CONFIGURATION will so VASTLY out weigh any real or imagined degradation from mis-matched SIMS/DIMMS that discussion of it is pointless pedantry. BUY the memory. RAMBUS memory is the only kind in recent production that always requires matched sets, and requiring matched sets of other memory generally disappeared about 1997. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
