adding ram

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   I currently have 6 gigs of ram in my system.  Three 2 gig sticks. I want to add more ram and would lime to know if I can just replace one of the 2 gig sticks with one 8 gig stick. So I would basically have a slot with a 2 gig stick, another slot with a 2 gig stick and one slot with an 8 gig stick. For a total of 12 gigs.

What I am unsure about is if I can add the 8 gig stick in with the 2 gig sticks. Do all the slots have to have the same amount of ram in them? I mean do all the slots have to have 2 gigs in them or can you mix in an 8 gig stick with the 2 gig sticks? 

Also, I would like the to update my video card. Will newer cards work with my current mother board? I have a EVGA X58 LE edition SLI (Intel X58 chipset).

 What is a decent card for like 250 or 300 dollars?
