RE: mixing DDR RAM
There are two things, both very different. The first is analysis programs, and they are free. they are numerous but I offer Everest Home by Lavalys.com. This  shows you what is on your computer and even compares it through performance with other computer examples. It shows the manufacturers of your equipment set up. There are others like sandra, from Sisoft.
That's the end of the first thing. The second is once you know what Motherboard and CPU you have you go to the manufacturer's site and go to 'downloads' and find your serial no.
after that in most cases you can download all information relevent to your set up. My manual is about 120 pages in pdf. format accessed by Adobe Reader 6.0

You can try Sandra, but it takes some time to go through its operations. Also 'Burn in Test' if you're interested.

RE: mixing DDR RAM
well, now you can exactly see what type of memory you'll need to be 100% compatible with the already installed memory.

Menu > Motherboard > SPD
There look under: module type, memory type and memory speed. These are the 3 things you'll need to know when you'll go to the store.

eg: "Unbuffered DDR SDRAM PC2700 (166Mhz)"

RE: mixing DDR RAM
Correct. Don't confuse Memory size (Mb) and speed (MHZ)

so when i get this 512mb of ram is it worth putting the 256mb of ram in with it evan if the 512 is gonna have more MHz it will still be 768mb so thats betta then just having the 512mb evan if betta speed MHz
