I've got 256MB of RAM on my computer and I've decided that it's not enough! The thing is, I don't know what memory it has installed now so does it matter if the two modules are not matched? I have an MSI K7N2 Delta-L MoBo if that helps! I'm thinking of installing either OCZ PC3200 RAM or Corsair PC3700 RAM (from overclockers.co.uk). Thanks for your help!

Well, that will decide wether or not the memory runs in dual-channel mode. If it doesn't you're not loosing a great deal of performance---like 3%. DC affects the Athlon XP much less than it does the P4, which is designed to play with a high memory bandwith setup.
I know the NF2 boards seem to be a bit picky on what you put in them. TwinMOS PC3200 with BH-5 memory chips are the most recommended. I'd go Corsair over OCZ, as OCZ has had some issues in the past, but they do seem to be a lot better than they were.

I've just had a look at what memory is like at the moment ... I've found out it's a SpecTek PC2700 256MB module and there are three slots ... one green one (which it is in now) on its own and two blue ones together. Would the Corsair PC3700 module be OK to fit with it and would I just put it in one of those blue slots? Thanks!
