Re: cheap RAM! (but can I use it?)

 On my mac pro- I think due to the dual core dual processor 
architecture they do require you to buy ram in pairs of the same size, 
however you don't need to have all dimms the same size: Ex. I have 2 
2GB and 2 512MB, check your motherboard specs and look around online 
to see how to upgrade your particular ram on your computer. If you 
have a dell it should be all online. ~Ben
