My bad, this is the RAM I intend to install

shop.kingston.com - Memory for your Desktop, Server, Workstation, Notebook, PDA, MP3 Player, Printer, Router and more.

It is PC3200 not PC2700

The board has 4 slots: (2) currently have 256K sticks in them now, I just want to ADD (2) 1 gig sticks to give me a total of 2.5 gigs of RAM.

My confusion comes from not completely understanding the order of the pairs of RAM. What would be the best order.

Leave the installed sticks and add the new sticks to the empty slots?
Remove the installed sticks, install the new sticks and install the old sticks in the other open slots?
Replace the old sticks with the new sticks and get rid of the old sticks?

There is nothing wrong with the old RAM, I just want more to help speed up the system a bit.

TIA,

Brock
