256MB or 384 MB RAM??

[Xp]

I've just bought a stick of 256MB Infineon PC133. My old RAM was Hyundai 128MB PC133. The Hyndai was pretty bad because it can't run in CAS2. Now I'm using the Infineon @ CAS 2-2-2. Memory bandwidth was higher, offcourse. Should I use 384MB or 256? Is there a risk of mixing 2 brands of RAM? Especially low quality ones such as Hyundai?

just put in both sticks...if there's no problem after running it for a while...then leave it
or else u can always remove the old one if you find it causing trouble or something...

i'd stay w/ 256 at cas2 cus you will rarely use more than 256mb.

of course if you edit dv or lots of really big photos you might want to choose the 384 cas3

mixing brands is no prob

Nope, I don't do that kind of stuff. I'm just a gamer
What I don't like is that I can't run my 384 at CAS2 because the Hyundai wis the bottleneck.
