Hi, Im looking to upgrade as i already have one 256mb stick of ram and want to check that my new ram is compatible. here are the details of what is printed on my ram:

184 DR256 M668, MV, K730
256MB DDR-266 MHZ -CL2.5
0210-0128M-0287

What are the key things I ned to look out for to make sure it is compatable? and Is it ok to mix 256mb ram with say 512mb

Thanks for any help or advice
Regards Dave

==================================================
Or...maybe you wanted to do this yourself...

Just stick with the PC266 speed ram. Getting faster ram will only result in the faster ram running at the slower rams speed and it is not advisable to mix the speeds anyways. Yes, you can mix the sizes as long as your board supports the new size.
