    Hey Guys,

    I just ordered my M15x a week ago and opted to buy 3 GB of Ram from Fry's. I got a 2 GB stick of Kingston and a 1 GB stick of Corsair (both are DDR2 667MHZ PC5300). Will mixing different brands cause problems or will it work like it would with two sticks of the same brand? Also does anyone know how long it will take for Alienware to get more 8800m GTX graphics cards in stock, because I received a message today saying that it is back-ordered and will delay my order.

    Thanks

    not 100% sure, but they should be ok together. always better to match memory, but its kind of akin to using an Onkyo Amp with a Sony Blu-Ray and an LG HDTV....lol

    not sure on the GPU back-order time frame....

    :)
