Hey all,
I have a question about my 2.33Ghz and it's 3MB RAM limit. Since RAM's so cheap I've been considering upgrading from 2 gig to 3. This would involve replacing one of my 1 gig sticks with a 2 gig from crucial. However, I assume that the current 2x1gig sticks are matched, and thus get a bit of a speed boost. If I replace one of the 1 gig sticks with a 2 gig, they will obviously not be matched.
My question is: is the RAM "knitted pair" matching all that important? Is it reason enough that I wouldn't want to upgrade to 3 gig, or is it not a big deal? Thanks!
