Ram Question

Hi, I have a AMD K7S5A motherboard on my home PC. I currently have one 256mb stick of DDR ram. (PC 3200... 32MB x 64DDr.... 256Mb... 400Mhz..CL3)

My friend was going to recycle his computer (Pentium 4), so he gave me the Ram sticks from his computer for my computer before he got rid of it. I wanted to know if I can use them or not.

He gave me 4 sticks, 2 of which are labeled and 2 that are not. Here is what I got from him.
2 x Samsung Korea 0118 H...... 128mb/8.... MR16R0828AN1-CK8IN 800-45 100
2 x (not much info on here, except for stuff written on the sticks not in label form) 0001 94V-0....ACM R1.00.... Made in Taiwan.

I wanted to know if I can add one of the sticks to bring my total to 384mb of ram. Or if it is going to stay at 256, if I should use his sticks of ram as they may be better than what I have. Or ______? any suggestions you may have.

Thank you in advance for looking, and your help
 
I think if you were to try and put them in your computer, it'd be pretty clear if you could or couldn't use them :P Those are sticks of RDRAM; a pretty short lived standard. They are in now way compatible with DDR.

Well what I have, and the sticks he gave to me are both 184 pin. So I don't see any reason why they wont fit. I was wondering if maybe it is not a good idea to use a 256mb and a 128mb stick together.

I don't know anything about RDRAM.
