is it important to use the same manufacturer of ram?

i have a motherboard which takes upto 4 slots of ram, they are colour coded 2x yellow and 2x orange

i have 2x 512 kingston ram in the yellow slots i just wondered if i could put a different brand in the orange, would it make any difference its just that im on a tight budget and would like a cheaper brand i just didnt know if 2 brands would be compatable?

for instance kingston + samsung

Ok I have 512mb of memory on my computer and I would like to but another 512 stick so I can have 1gb of memory. The 512mb stick I have now is a Mushkin PC2700 DDR. So my question is, what are the key points in compatibility checking? Does the other memory stick such as PC-3200 work for my motherboard?

I keep getting these 'Locating Drivers' popups. I click install, and it finds an error with it. I am running windows vista if that has anything to do with it.

I just installed Windows Vista Ultimate. I was running 3 monitors on XP Pro with no problems. I have 1-26" Dell and 2-19" Gateways on ATI X-700 pro and ATI 9250 video cards (respectively). The X-700 runs with no problems. Vista does not detect the 9250 card which runs the 2 19". Does anyone know how to get the card to work on Vista?
I tried some other drivers, but they would not install. Anyone have any ideas?

I saw one today that has video and audio RCA jack inputs so you can convert your VHS library to DVD.

Anyone ever used one of these recorders? I am going to get one, if they are good.

My computer recently crashed while using my main internal CD ROM which is also a DVD and CD writer. It must be a hardware problem now because even after a factory fresh restore it won't recognize a CD in the drive. It is not a power problem. It receives the CD and ejects when I push the button again. The drive indicator light comes on for a few seconds, and goes off. It shows the drive letter, but it will not recognize a CD. It works fine with my second CD ROM drive on the PC tower, and also on my external CD ROM. It might be something simple, but I don't know how to fix it. Maybe the drive is no good now. I have a HP PC, and Windows XP. Please help.
