Dual Ram question.

I've got a 512 3200 DDR Geil value ram and was wondering if I need to get the same kind (priced @ $93.00) or can I use a kingston 512 3200 (@ $78.99)? Will Dual DDR give me a worthwhile boost?

Current System:

XP1900 (soon will be upgraded)
AN35N-Ultra
512 MB 3200 Geil value
ATI 9500 Pro
 
You should be ok as long as the Ram is the same size and speed, but its always better to go with the same make and model.

You wont see a huge boost using dual ddr on an AthlonXP based system.
The P4 tends to get more use out of the extra memory bandwidth of dual channel ddr.
 
Probably will work fine, but there are some big differences between modules of various manufacturers. It is always best to use a matched set, and when that is not possilble, two from the same manufacturer.
