I have an older desk top I'd like to give a little boost with some added RAM, I've read all I can find on the subject and still have no real answer. Some say it's as easy as making toast others say If you don't know what you are doing, don't try.

Here's the low down.

D865PERL with (2) 256K sticks of Kingston 184 pin DDR PC2700 400 RAM
I'd like to add (2) 1g sticks of Kingston 184 pin DDR PC2700 400 RAM

Is it a simple plug and play operation or do they need to be in a specific order???

Should I remove the 256K sticks and install the 1g sticks in their slots and the put the 256K sticks in the two vacant slots??

Sorry if there isn't enough info to answer the question, tell me what you need to know and I'll answer the best I can.

TIA,

Brock
