I want to upgrade my RAM. Currently I have 512MB of SDRAM which is starting to blow with newer games.
My MOBO has 4 slots. 2 are for 168 pin SDRAM and the other two are for 184 pin DDR SDRAM. Now my question is, can I buy two more chips of the 184 pin DDR RAM and use it in conjunction with the 168 pin SDRAM I already have?
I've heard that if you combine with faster chips, the clock speed goes down to meet the slower ones. If this is the case, thats fine because I really just want more RAM now... I can upgrade all my chips later.
And if it makes any difference, this is my MOBO:

Thanks.
Edit: And oh yeah, does anyone have any recommendations for places to buy cheap RAM online?
