Hello..

I'm going to upgrade my RAM from 512mb to 1gb, so I decide to buy an "used" RAM from someone via internet..
My motherboard is ASUS P4GE-MX and the current RAM is Kingston DDR-333 PC2700 512mb and the RAM that I'm going to buy is RAMBO DDR-333 PC2700 512mb..

Question is, I know it's possible to pair both RAM into my motherboard, but I'm not sure about the compatibility issues.. Will my system be conflicted after I pairing up the RAM since both RAM have different brands..

Enlighten me pls..
Thanks..

Hello again Geekstome
Maybe this will help. Follow the next steps and it will give you all the compatible configurations for your system.

Go HERE and run the Crucial online scanner.
This will give you the exact memory configuration for your system. You do not have to buy the memory from there, but write down the information and if you need assistance in purchasing the upgrade memory GTG can assist with suggestions also.

I would make sure it is good memory.
Buying anything used like ram is very risky.

Some questions re: Ram compatibility can be found by going to Crucial which is I think is Crucial.com. They will do a test of your machine and tell you which memory is compatible with your machine. I did it today and it told me the chips that would work in my machine. I bought some memory from them in the past and as I recall they were very helpful. URBROJR

Even though the specs are the same, mixing manufacturers can be an issue. Unfortunately you will not know till you put the ram in. if you start having problems, then remove it and see if the problems go away. the issues created by ram are quite extensive, but mainly intermittant booting, failure to boot, lockups, program failures, etc.

Let us know know how you make out.
