So, my old build, now in use by the rest of the family, is still a little sluggish. A week ago MicroCenter had the i7-2600k processor for $200, and I almost pulled the trigger to upgrade the whole system...but too late. Anyway, I was just going to double the RAM to 4 GB, because it seems like that might be a limiting factor right now (I am running 32 bit Vista, so I understand that I won't actually see the full 4 GB). When I went back to find the same exact RAM that I had already installed, I found that it is has been discontinued. However, I found what appears to be the successor product with the same specs (as far as I can tell)
Original RAM: CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400C4
Successor RAM: CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400
Should I be OK to add this new RAM to the old one? I wanted to put the exact same product in, so I looked to the same manufacturer, but I am concerned that there may be issues. The motherboard is also discontinued.
