alright im thinking of buying a stick of ram. But i want to buy these (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-145-416&depa=1) but i have these (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-145-405&depa=1) installed.

The only difference is the 99 dollar ones have better timings and the ones i have seem like teahat :suicide: . So I was wondering if i can mix those up with the 99 dollar ones and the ones i have installed on my pc. Also if i can't buy the other ones and i get the same ones, wouldnt my pc feel like crap if i mix them both since they will have a crappy timing? My cpu is a amd64 3200 and DFI 250gb lanparty ut mobo.

Ideally, you need to buy ram that is exactly the same as the ram you have, most top Ram companies sell Ram in configured pairs to make sure the timing is the same :thumbup:

I would buy more of the Ram you have, or swap the lot out for new sticks (if you can afford). :thumbup:

nahh i cant afford crap i would buy a 2 new sticks of ram, but I guess i'm going to have to buy the same ram. If anything happens I'll just RMA back to newegg.
