Memory question

[jhonsonlee]

My PC is Compaq Presario SR5080CF CTO -- Intel C2D E4300, 4 DIMM slots

Slot 1. DDR2 (512MB x 1) 667MHz
Slot 2. DDR2 (2048MB x 1) 667MHz
Slot 3. DDR2 (512MB x 1) 667MHz
Slot 4. DDR2 (256MB x 1) 533MHz

I would know whether the DDR2 (256MB x 1) 533MHz will speed up my pc or drag down the performance since it is 533MHz?

Short answer... yes....

Believe it or not computers actually work more efficiently when the memory module size on each stick is the same size and speed.. (And preferably of the same manufacturer)
