Memory.

Well everything has shipped in so far except for my memory.

I ordered a new motherboard, power supply, and memory, among other things including new keyboard mouse etc..

My motherboard is a GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
My power supply is the Antec BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.2 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Active PFC Power Supply

My old memory is 2 sticks of G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) and 2 sticks of Kingston 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Unbuffered DDR2 667 (PC2 5300)

My question is will my computer run using that old memory or do I need to wait until the new memory comes Thursday? Will it cause complications? I just want to be safe with my new hardware!

The new memory I ordered is G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)

It should boot with your old memory, but change it out asap. It's slow.

It wont cause problems to just shut it down and swap the memory out when the new stuff arrives?

No it won't cause problems. The BIOS will take care of everything when you swap out for the new.

That's how you change/upgrade RAM. It's not like a hard drive or processor upgrade.
