The Computer Hardware Question Thread

[SetBuilder]

I need help.  Somebody.  I remember during my CIS course something about having to have the same size sticks of RAM in your computer, but that may have just been with the old old computers we were dealing with.  I don't know if that still applies.  I have a 512mb stick.  I want another one, a 1024mb one if I can.  Is this OK?  Will it work fine?

Matched pairs were important with SIMM chips more than dimms. Now, the main reason you'd want matched pairs would be so you could set it as dual channel. That's only for DDR though.. And with that, you have to buy the pair, not singles.
