    Currently I have the standard two 1gig cards installed for a total memory of 2 gig. Im looking to upgrade that to 4 gig by installing one 4gig card from crucial. I was wondering if it was possible to install this one card alone or if I need to keep one of the 1 gig cards in. And if that is the case is it possible to mix two different sized memory cards?

    You can keep one of the 1GB DIMMs or remove it. The amount of RAM in the slots don't have to match.

    Pretty much, it won't be as fast as matching sticks, but nothing that you will notice anyways.
