A question related to RAM

[Zertimon]

I've got a question to the wise community. When adding RAM to a computer, do i need to make sure that the memory stick i'm buying and installing is equal to the ones the computer already has?

Although it is important to some people to keep a steady color theme or have a favorite manufacturer, but the only thing that really matters is having the same speeds and types. Example: If you already have DDR2 800 RAM sticks, then any other RAM you buy should be DDR2 800. Or you can also get whatever your motherboard supports. But I personally stick with the same (DDR2 800) for all my RAM.

If adding a SIMM, find the notched end and turn the SIMM so that it is parallel to the existing RAM card(s). Insert the SIMM into the socket at a 30-degree angle. If adding a DIMM, insert the DIMM straight in so that it is perpendicular to the motherboard.
