Matt,

In 1993 when I was studying what I wanted in my first 486 "Compatiable"
computer, I decided that I wanted 8MB of SIMM RAM.

A friend of a friend told me that wouldn't work because I had to have
all four SIMMs the same, so I would either have to put four 1MB SIMMs in
or put four 4MB SIMMs.

I decided to get 4 4MB sticks for 16MB total RAM.

The 486 computer was delivered in early 1994 and I figured the RAM cost
me $540.00US.

The XP computer I have came with 1GB of DDR memory split between 2 500MB
sticks.

I added 2 1GB DDR sticks to it and now run 3GB of DDR memory.

So You may be able to mix them up and they will work.

Good Luck!
