If this is for the PC running WinXP with 2.5 GB of memory, then I would
suggest you NOT put any more in. The 32-bit version of WinXP has problems
with anything above 3 GB.
If you are asking about another PC, then that is not an easy question to
answer. Some PC's are pretty flexible as far as the speeds and brands you
use, but many (especially newer high speed PC's) are getting more and more
picky. You should have much less problems if you stay with the same brand
and speed, but that's not even guaranteed. Many motherboards have a list of
memory sticks that are tested to work properly. Many others will work, but
just aren't tested by manufacturer.
If that is too confusing, then I would recommend you find out what is
recommended from either the motherboard maker or PC maker. Some of the
bigger memory sellers could probably help also.

Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- memory question
When I am buying new memory, does the "brand name" have to match what is in
there or only the right speed and all?
thanks,
