So while I'm upgrading my laptop's harddrive, I thought I'd take a look and see how much some extra ram would cost - and it's surprisingly cheap. So I might go ahead and get some at the same time.
The catch is that I have two slots, and both are filled - Dell gave me 2 x 256Mb, rather than 1 x 512Mb. I know that there used to be rules about mixing memory module sizes - could I replace one of the 256Mb's with a 512Mb or even a 1024Mb? The speed should be the same (and even it wasn't, it would just default down to the slowest speed anyway).
