Hi
I want to add 2 gb ddr2 memory to my pc. Current memory timings for my 2gb ddr 2 g-skill are 4-4-3-5 . I can't find memory sticks with those timings. If i add memory with slower timings can I change all the memory timings to say 5-5-5-15. Will the old memory be stable with the altered timings? Thanks for the input

What's the model number of your G.Skill kit?
I can't find any PC2-6400 listed at G.Skill with those specific timings.

With such extreme timings, "voltage" may also be an issue when you try to mix & match DIMMs.
