I have a HP Pavilion a6305.uk desktop fitted with a MCP61PM-H(Nettle2) motherboard. It came with 2x1Gb DDR2 DIMM's PC-5300. I have 2x1Gb paired DDR2 DIMM's PC-6400(new), non-Ecc and unbuffered as the upgrades for this motherboard dictates.I would like to know if the 2 new DIMM's will work with those already installed or will it cause problems? As the motherboard has dual channel memory architecture with 2xblack slots and 2x blue slots, do the paired DIMM,s need to go in the same coloured slots or doesn't it make any difference? As you may have gathered I am a bit of a beginner at these things so any advice will be greatly appreciated.
