Hi Guys,

I have got INTEL DG965RY MOTHERBOARD on which I have put two RAMS. The one is Trancend 667 512 MB and the other is Trancend 667 1GB Ram. I want to put another 1 GB Ram.

1.Should I remove the Trancend 667 512 MB if I put another 1 GB Ram as mentioned above?
2.May I use Rams of any brands or should I use only Trancend brand as I have already put two Trancend RAMS?

You can put RAM's from any brand. But if you put same(brand and clock) RAM's in dual mode, It works faster and better. I think your mobo has 4 slot. Put both the 1GB RAM's in dual mode(1-3 or 2-4) slots. And put the 512MB in any of the free slots.
