    I have an asus P5W-DH Deluxe mb and currently have 2GB of Corsair Dominator TWIN2X2048-9136C5D... I've overclocked a little, so I was wondering whether it has to be the same model or I can add other ram (from corsair...), note it's DDR2 memory.

    Thanks, my prob was loosing overclocking capability, but that's not an issue as I won't need to go above 1066MHz... hope I'm right.

    i have a quick question that kinda relates to this topic....if my motherboard has 4 ram slots and support for 1066 can 2 of the sticks be 1066 and the other 2 sticks 800?

    hi mate, yes they can but all the memory modules will run at the speed of the lowest module in this case 800. Hope this helps dave :cool:
