Problem
I have 8 slots for ram on my motherboard. They are in pairs to take advantage of dual channel memory. Right now, I have 2 1GB sticks of ram, and I'd like to add 2 2GB sticks of ram for a total of 6GB. Is mixing the different sizes of ram going to cause any problems?

Low Risk
No, it won't cause the world to implode, or any problems for that matter. Make sure the 2x1GB and the 2x2GB are installed in corresponding banks to enable dual-channel memory mode.
