need advice on buying ram.


[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
Hey there.
i have a computer i want to bump from 500 to 1 gig RAM.
now, i know from the little book that came with my motherboard that it can use a 184 pin
DDR DIMM PC2700/2100/1600 SDRAM

i dont really know which one i have now.
do i need to find out? i mean, do they have to match?

i guess i would prefer get the best one, but i dont want any conflicts

so, any advice?

Well, if you use different clock speeds, they will all run at the SLOWEST speed.
