Do different types of RAM have to be compatible with each other?

JohnJSal · 10-27-2009, 02:58 AM

But more than just the same brand (Kingston), do I need to get the same *type* of RAM (ValueRAM, speed, etc) or does that not matter? I have no problem getting more Kingston, but what about the details?

Yeah, I just didn't realize how easy it would be to find my specific kind again. Just had to check my order history on Newegg, duh!

One more question: if I upgrade to 4GB now with XP (32 bit), will that cause any problems?

Thanks!
