Hi all,
Last night, I ordered four sticks of RAM to put into my computer ("upgrading" from PC2 4200 to 5300, 533 to 667).
Problem is, I found out today that I can only have three, as they're out of stock.
Now, I know it's best to pair them, but since I can only have three for the time being, my questions are as follows:
- Should I just put in two of the sticks for now and leave the third out until the fourth one gets here?
- Should I put all three in now, knowing that the third one would be better off paired, but it's still better than not having it in there at all?
- Should I just leave it at 3GB and never order the fourth when it's in stock, knowing that Windows XP 32-bit is not really going to recognize 4GB anyway?
Please chime in with your thoughts. Thanks guys!
