What is the differnce in PC3200, 3400 etc, will I notice any differnce in performance in the larger numbers?
|
No such thing as [marketed] PC3400 but the difference is that memory with higher rated clocks can be overclocked more. Yes, to get those speeds you need to overclock the memory (which will in some cases, overclock the system as well)

If I put a 1gb stick of ram in, will it constantly overheat, and will it be compatiable with the 512 Ram I currenlty have?
|
RAM will only overheat in very special circumstances, feel free to add that memory

3. Can I have one stick of DDR2 Ram, and the other wiht DDR Ram?
|
And on mobos that have both DDR and DDR2, you can use one or the other, not both

You don't wanna get DDR2 anyway...it's just a fill-in before DDR3 is released. Not much performance difference IIRC.
|
Well if you've got the nice CAS3 stuff there's a nice difference. Also, waiting for DDR3 mobos to come out ... especially when you'e got an older comp and looking to upgrade ... would mean a really long wait
