[ILUG] bad memory..

[Stephane Dudzinski]

Different clock speeds is no probs as long as your system runs at a
speed that both ram can take.

I reckon you got to freshmeat and grab a descent ram testing program for
linux (can't remember the names though).

The only other issue would be the bios which can't take the last ram you
added (is it supported, and when was the last time you upgraded your
bios ?)

Standard issues.
