I have an AXP1800 (palomino) system (see sig) that has served me well for a couple years. It is suffering however, and will be upgraded soon....but not yet.
For the moment I want to upgrade the RAM with a stick that will serve me well in the next system (mobile barton o/c or possibly A64). Is it as simple as buying PC3700 (or 4000) and plopping in alongside my PC2100 RAM? In the past I've had numerous troubles combining RAM sticks, and while I am far more versed in such things today, I still have that lingering doubt.
How should I go about establishing timings that will work for BOTH the new and old RAM?
