RAM mixing question

[mikesphat]

Just wondering if there would any problems mixing these two.

-256MB Mushkin Rev 3+ PC133 CAS222 Unbuffered

-any size Mushkin PC133 CAS333 Unbuffered

Will there be any advantages or not of mixing timings and sizes? Sizes as in the 256MB with a new 128, 512MB, or 1GB? Any reason to keep sizes the same ie the 256MB with another 256?


thx

given that system is likely to be slow as fsck anyway, More ram > fast ram

Yes, for overclocking and stability reasons.

Once you add more than one DIMM it does not matter how fast your other dimms are, the system will run at the slowest memory timings anyways; even if all your DIMMS are CAS2. if you have less than 512MB then I would add more ram and not worry about the timings.
