Adding Memory to my PC...

[coasterdude5]

When you add memory, do you get to keep the old memory card and combine the two? (i.e. 256mb+512mb)

 

Just kinda confused...

It all depends on

-The type of memory you have, and what your motherboard supports (ie. SDRAM, DDR, DDR2, EDO, etc.)

-How many slots are available on the motherboard and what is in the existing slots.

-How much memory your motherboard can support

 

Usually, if you have free slots, you can just add the memory alongside your existing memory.

Yes you can have a 256 and a 512 running fine Esp if there the same type of memory 2100, 2700, 3200 for example.

Where can you find that info?

Download belarcadvisor or CPU-Z for free and they'll tell you everything you need to know about your system.
