Shuttle User Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I need to add to my RAM which is currently a matched pair of CM2X1024-5400C4Pro units. 4-4-4-12 675mhz 1024mb XMS2-5400 I am soon to have a new server so this is temporary so the cheapest solution possible whilst still making the upgrade worthwhile is what I am looking for as I will be giving the PC away in due course to someone who can't affford one. I don't understand if I can mix types when I am having trouble sourcing this original ram and I actually purchased by mistake a matched pair of CM2X1024-6400 units 5-5-5-18 800mhz 1024mb XMS2 6400 I am presuming I would not be able to add these but if I swapped them would this be worthwhile? Thanks for any advice please. The PC is a Barebones Shuttle SD37P2 v1 about 3 years old running server 2003 and the replacement I am waiting for needs a non existant bios update to utilize DDR3 so I have to wait on that before upgrading.

Thanks for the advice, I was mainly worried I would foul up the PC but if its only a quality drop, I can live with that no problem. I will get some benefits I presume?
