RAM Boost

by RockMtl2007 Nov 13, 2007 2:09PM PST

OK - I recently wanted to boost my RAM on one of my other computers. It has 2 banks and I could go upto 2G of RAM according to the specs. The Question - I was always under the impression that you had to have/install an equal amount of memory in each slot. Ex: right now I have 2 256 sticks for 512. The chap in the PC store said that I didn't have to be EQUAL anymore and that I could install a 1G in one slot and leave the other 256 in the other. Is he right??
All my system stats say that I'm running 1.2G of Ram now - so is this - all good - or can I be doing something to affect my system in the long run? Thanks

This is a forum about the forums. Not for hardware questions. Please repost in the PC hardware forum and mention make and model of the motherboard, if possible, otherwise make and model of the PC.

Locking it here.
