Is it generally OK to mix different size rams .. I have a laptop with 4 slots and a max 12gb capacity, it currently has 4gb non removable and 2gb removebale in another slot leaving 2 slots free.
If I want to go to the maximum 12gb am I better off getting another 4gb and a 2gb and using both the available slots OR for about the same cost I could just get 1 x 8gb and remove the 2gb that's in there??
Also where do you see the biggest increases in performance, will the machine boot faster and will things like Outlook and Word load quicker after it's been re-booted or only if they've been opened once and then closed but the laptop not powered down before re-opening them?
