Hi, I'm running a Gigabyte motherboard with RDRAM and I am currently running two sticks of 16 bit memory. If I bought another two sticks of memory, but of 32 bit, would it still work properly? Do I need to have all of the sticks the same? Thanks

You motherboard has to support it, and to my knowledge, only the Asus P4T533 does. 16-bit RDRAM is 184 pins while 32-bit RDRAM is 232 pins.

read your manual.
