ram compatibility question (not sure if a similar thread exists)

[George_Estregan]

I'm planning to combine DDR2 rams for an older pc, it currently has x4 512mb and thinking of swapping out 2 of them for x2 1024mb thus shifting from 2gb to 3gb. Will it work?

It probably will. DDR2 was more tolerant of things like this then DDR3 is it would seem.

Make sure your motherboard supports the larger RAM size as well.

yes it will work, i have done that woth ddr2 sticks. i had 4x1GB sticks and then relpace 2 of them with 2x2GB sticks, therefore it was/is 6GB.
