1. Should I stick with Crucial or can I get this Kingston ram with no probs?
2. Can I get a 512 meg chip or stick with another 256 meg chip? I heard something about this not being as good for DDR if I use 2 different sizes.
Thanks for any help.

If I had an existing stick of Crucial pc2700 ..I'd get another from Crucial ..but that's just me..I'd try to match same with same..Kingston is not the manufacturer..so what's in the pkg(mem chips) is YMMVor you could grab this single stick 512MB anyway.. <edit> your ? #2 hearsay is horsepucky ..if you get the 512 put in slot 0/1 and the 256MB in slot 1/2 ..depends on mobo manufacturer as to 1st slot being marked as 0 or 1
