Will these two ram sticks work together? EDIT: New question added!

PQI Power series

- Corsair Value Series

Any reason these wouldn't work together?

I already own the Corsair.

Anyone?

You should try to keep to the same kind, but mixing types should work fine too.

Generally you'll default to the speed and timings of the slowest ram of the pair.

Well it would help if we knew what motherboard you are gonna use them on..and if you are trying to use them together in dual channel mode or not..if you are using a single channel motherboard, then I would say they should almost certainly work together, as long as you have the timings set to that of the slower stick. Dual channel, it's possible, but no gurantees, as it's best to use 2 identical sticks for dual channel, but you really should give more information if you want a good answer, cause we aren't psychic, so we don't know what motherboard you have...

Msi RS480

I don't care if its in Dual channel or not as its not that significant of an improvement anywho. I just need more than 512 and the memory prices are pretty damn good right now

 

[stevty2889]

They should work together, but still can't gurantee

 

[wakawaka]

K, thanks folks.

I can't believe memory is going down so low!

 

[wakawaka]

Actually, another question: Any of you folks think that Corsair prices will fall anytime soon like these other sticks?

 

[imported_fatal]

I have different RAm, but no way to tell if it will work... roll of the dice

Because I already have 1 stick of 512. I do not need 2 more.

After all this, I just ended up tossing in another $10 at ZipZoomFly for the same kind.

Ah, lol...

Should make my computer a bit faster:

AMD athlon 64 3000 (939)
MSI RS480
512mb ram(1 gb after purchase)
80 gb SATA
40 gb PATA

I've never had a computer with this much ram...should be enjoyable
