    Question About Upgrading RAM

    Yeah sorry about that :) Cant I just use the slots that the 2 512MB cards are in and replace them? If theres an extra slot or two, would it be possible to put either all 4 in or 2 1024MB cards and 1 512MB card to have a total of 3GB or 2 1/2GB or is that not how it works?
