Wanted to know whether to use my old 256Mb module that runs at 266MHz together with my new 512Mb module that runs faster if run alone. (both are DDR) Should I prefer speed or amount? Thanks for your info!

I think I personally would only put one stick in (the 512Mb) but that’s just because the way I work. I think you would probably notice a better speed difference with the two sticks over the one stick. Maybe it’s worth a test? It’s not as if you’re talking about the differences between 800Mhz and 1066Mhz :)

why not 1.2 g at 266mhz? the 512 will slow down, but its not really that much that would make a difference, but since you have over a gig of ram the mhz speed wont really be that big an issue since you have twice the storage.
