in my Desktop with XP pro o/s, P4, 3 Ghz with H.T & Intel 915 GV chipset motherboard, I want to install an addition RAM of (256 MB) same configuration. This is mentioned on the RAM already installed:
1R x 16, PC2 – 3200 U – 333 -12, 1.8 VS (32v + x64)
I have 2 questions
1) What is frequency of this RAM.
2) can I install PC2-3200 RAM with higher frequency, say around 533 Mhz if the present one is smaller or PC2-4200 RAM CL4 non-parity DDR2 533 Mhz.(this information I have picked from a website, they sound arabic to me)
Please explain in a simplified way, as I have no clue which are the best options available, keeping in mind the existing RAM & mother board.
Thanking you all in advance.

you can install ddr2 pc3200 ram...it is always 400mhz. pc4200 is 533mhz and if your motherboard is compatible with pc4200 you could install it but it is recommended that ddr2 ram be installed in matched pairs (ie. 2x256mb ddr2 pc3200 ram)

You need RAM that matches other RAM that you have. You also need RAM meets the specifications of your motherboard.
