I purchased Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (not the tracers) for real cheap after rebate on Newegg. I was planning to purchase a 2nd set for a total of 4 gigs on my new rig but the next mourning the price was back to normal (ouch).
My question is this. Do I need to have the exact same RAM if I ordered another 2 gigs or can it be any brand/model? I want to stick with PC2 8500 since if I don't it will be a waste of the memory I already purchased.
So if say the tracers went on sale, can I just use them and have no problems with OCing the RAM a bit? Since the tracers are already $30 cheaper than the normal ones for some reason.
Maybe a dumb ass questions but I don't want to waste money
Thanks!!
