2 RAM sticks of different memory each?


One thing I don't understand is can you have two memory sticks at different speeds working together in the computer? For instance, lets say my computer has 3 RAM slots, and I have a 1GB stick and a 516GB stick, can I put them together??

btw, 1gb and 512mb are not speeds, they are capacities.

They will work fine together, but one thing that's for sure is that dual channel will not work

Are you talking about speeds or capacities? Different capacities will work fine, and different speeds will run at the lower speed.
