Will This RAM Be Compatible In My PC?

[Francisè von Spitroast]

Hey, so this may be a really stupid question but I don't know anything about computers so I thought I'd ask anyway.
So I was scavenging my old computer (and I mean old) for an HDD. I thought I'd check out the RAM while I was there since I only have 4GB RAM. So I took it out and there seems to be two 2GB sticks. 8GBRAM would be very helpful for me but I seriously doubt RAM this old will be compatible but it's worth asking.

In my comp since I don't want to open it the only info I have using CPU-Z is that I've got a single channel (64-bit) DDR-3 Kingston 799MHz 4GB RAM. The other RAM?'s? I have from my old computer are both Kingston KVR800D2N6/2G 2GB and a larger KVR667D2N5/2G. There's no way these old RAM's will work alongside my 4GB will they?

as long as the speeds are the same, and the voltages are the same it should work fine.
But its generally not a good idea to mismatch RAM

The RAM in your old PC is DDR2, unless your motherboard supports DDR2 they're useless. You can't use DDR2 and DDR3 sticks together anyway. One or another.

DDR3 RAM is pretty cheap at the moment. You could pick up 2 matching 4GB sticks for about $25 / $30

Would also consider to buy new DDR3 RAM for like 30 bucks.

Yeah I was planning on it anyway. Cheers.
