Does it matter if I install a different brand memory stick then the other one that my Dell came with?

I have a Dell Dimension L866R.Intel Pentium III, 866 MHz (133MHz external),128MB memory,2 memory slots, 1 free. If I choose to buy an SDRM, PC133 ? CL=2 ? Non-parity memory stick from Crucial.com will it matter if the other slot in my computer has a different memory stick brand? How reliable is Crucial in matching compatible memory for a computer?

It should be fine. Very rarely does mixing brands make a difference (perhaps only with some very cheap generic RAM).

Crucial stuff is top class, so there shouldn't be any problems.
