You need to look at your PC manual to find out what type of mem you can use and how it can be configured. There are as many does and donts as there are PC manufacturers! The users above are not correct either! Some motherboard manufacturers wont allow memory of different sizes to be installed!

you should be able to add more memory to your computer
make sure you install the highest (number) MB stick into the main slot - so if you have a 128 mb stick in that slot - remove it and install the highest MB (example - 256 MB) stick into that slot then install the next highest (example - 128 MB) stick into the 2nd slot - etc. - otherwise if you don't do that - when you restart your computer it won't recognize any memory

Different size memory sticks will work fine together.
Make sure though, that they are the same TYPE of memory. (ie, the have the same little notches in them)

Go to www.crucial.com and use their memory configurator, and it will tell you what you already have in there, and what you can use...
by the way, you CAN mix amounts, and speeds, but, make sure that the faster ram is in the zero bank, otherwise, the slower ram will slow ya down.

yes it is very possible to use multiple sized memory chips with one computer as long as they are all compatible(same speed, type)
