Can you mix DDR3 ram memory say 2 gig chip and a 4 gig chip

[dtj5]

Processor 2.53 Intel Core 2 Duo with a 2 Gig and 4 Gig memory chips. Is it ok to run with this configuration (one 2 gig and one 4 gig chips) or should I match them up as 2 and 2 or 4 and 4?

Which operating system are you using? And which application are mainly going to run on this system?

The config you have is fine, no matter the OS. It's not the best, but the difference only matters in high-performance situations, which you don't have.

I thank you for the information....

6GB [4+2] of memory is sufficient for the applications that you are using. 8GB [ 2x 4GB] will make your system more future proof, having said that I don’t recommend spending too much money on upgrades, it just not worth it .
