    My system can handle 2 Gb of memory but at this time there are (2) 256Mb modules installed.I have an extra Crucial 512Mb 3200 pc module and would like to order another 512Mb but need to know if I can go with Corsair or should I stay with Crucial? all specs being equal.Also I thought someone said that I would need to put the 512's in slots 1 and 3 and install the 256's in slots 2 and 4.is that correct? Thanks

    It is an Intel Mobo D865PERL
    bus clock 200 mhz
    I am told I could install up to 4Gb memory
    the memory installed now are (2) Crucial 256mb ddr 400 3200pc cl 3 sticks and I would like to add
    (2) 512Mb sticks with the same specs.I am not sure if I need to put the 512 sicks in slot 1 and 3 and the 256 sticks in slots 2 and 4 or if there is a certain way they need to be installed.Thanks

    this seems fine! and to have dual-channel working you will need to do as above
