[QUOTE="nduetime@juno.c, post: 694907, member: 39158"] No problem Kash...in fact I made a mistake as well. I neglected to type correct processor. It's a Core 2 Duo (thanks cwa107). From what I've seen in other post and a website somewhere, max is 3 GB (but I'm no expert either). I think my question might be found (buried) in the forums online but....I know the sticks work better in pairs of the same speed and size. However, given that it's max is 3GB, what is the performance problems if I run a single 2GBX1 stick in the main slot and the original 1GBX1 in the additional slot? Sure it might not be as fast as two 2GBX1 but it has to be better than just running the one 2GBX1 stick of memory with nothing in the second slot, right? The reason I am wanting to max it out is because I want to eventually run programs like photoshop and autocad (through parallels) while listening to itunes music. I know, I want my cake and to eat it too. One more newby question...when people mention why they don't like one brand or another, why is that. For what reason is it not a preferred choice? Quality, customer service, warrantee, price etc.? Thanks again for all the replies and help-b. [/QUOTE]
