Am adding ram to my computer need ddr 400 but does it have to be the same brand and everything?

Question

I currently have corsair gaming ram installed (2G) i want to add some more but i dont want to spend alot of money. Can i add a cheaper ddr 400mghz (approx 2 more gigs) to what i ahve now or do i have to add the same stuff that i currently have?

Answer 1

No you don't have to add the same brand.

The only thing that matters is, that it needs to be the same type and the same clock speed.

Answer 2

Yes, as long as the slot and pins match, i.e., pc3200, etc.

Answer 3

The RAM has to be the same clock speed (DDR-400 or PC-3200) as your other modules, but, you can use any brand you want.

Answer 4

It doesn't have to be the same brand as long as its the same type of RAM.

I had the same thing to work out when i upgraded my RAM recently.

As long as you have the correct type for you're PC Motherboard,..and they match each other in Pin Type etc,..then you are fine. ;)
