Hey there, all though I've been working on my pc for a while now, I'm kind of new to the concept of upgrading.

Recently, I bought 1gb RAM. I already had 512 present in the form of three 128 cards.

I tried out the three cards, with my 1gig, and it picks it up as 1.5gig RAM. However, I noticed the pc, still takes a little longer to load.

Now, I'm just running the pc with 1gig.

I was wondering if its a good idea, to leave 2 128 on 2 slots on a side, and install the 1gig on the other side.

Also, is there a sort of primary, and secondary slot section for RAM, and how do you find out if there is?
