I have bought 1GB DDR(PC3200) of RAM for my PC. Previously I have 512MB DDR(2100) of RAM. Currently I installed both RAM on my PC and it’s showing 1.5GB of RAM but my PC reduce my total RAM bus speed to 512MB(Old on PC2100).
I want to ask that which RAM module will work faster on my system?
1GB (PC3200) RAM or 1.5GB(PC2100)?
should I remove my old 512MB(PC2100)RAM?:rolleyes:
after install my old RAM why RAM run on lower BUS speed?

depends what you are doing. If you go over the max amount of physical ram it uses a swap file on the HDD which is sloooow as its mechanical unlike ram which is electronic. If you dont think you are gonna use more than 1gb go for ti as its faster but if you need the memory and want to avoid swapfile slowdown then use the 1.5gb.
