First off, thanks for the reply. Second, I tried exactly what you suggested, but all I'm getting is a blank gray screen—nothing shows up at all. I've uploaded a screenshot so you can see what I'm looking at.

Thanks for the reply. Quick question though—is there any way to figure out my RAM brand without actually cracking open the case? I tried using some software like CPU-Z or Everest, but for some reason, they weren't giving me the specific brand info I needed.

Thanks for the quick reply. Now that I know I can't mix different types, I've got another question: can I mix brands? Like, would it work if I paired up some Kingston with some SanDisk? Cheers.

Hey there, quick question about RAM: can I mix modules with different speeds? For instance, if I have one stick running at 400 MHz and another at 800 MHz, will they actually play nice together?
