Adding memory to a Dell D620

I like my Dell D620 so much that I just got another one. I've heard that I should not add an additional 1G module to the existing 1G in this laptop, but rather that it is best to replace the existing 1G with either two matched 1G modules or one 2G module. Is that correct? Seems a shame to toss the 1G that's already in there . . .

Could I add a 2G module to the 1G that's already in there? I'm assuming that the bay will accept two RAM modules.

The OS is XP-Pro, SP3, if that matters.

Thanks!

you should be able to add either
1g + 1g
1g + 2g
2G +2G

OK, I like that part, but what about mixing brands of memory. I was told that mixing brands can/will mess with optimal performance. Any thoughts on that?

I personally have no issue with mixing brands as long as specs are the same.

cheers ...
