    If you mix it may not work (depends on CL, V, Timings) - if you are looking @ your BIOS and it is reporting 266 mhz ram that means you are running 533mhz RAM - Also if you put 677 with 533 it will only run a Max of 533 - So for optimal performance get matching sticks, otherwise check your CL cylces, V, Timings on the if they match you can upgrade one for now and do the other later
    V Meaning Voltage -

    It depends on the CAS Latency, Voltage and Timings off the current ram and compare to your models if you are adding, otherwise just buy 2 of the 677 for max performance.
