[Georgina Joyce <gena@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

You need to refer to your motherboard manual to see how many slots your 
motherboard has got.  Then you need to establish how many are occupied.  If you 
use the existing strip of ram, you should get another of the same brand etc.  
Although, I've know people to mix and match and get away with it.  But I'd 
wouldn't risk it because it could be very expensive.
