Oh, I'm only buying 1Gb modules, but my query is whether to get one or two of the things.

If I only put one in with my current RAM, then the RAS-CAS latency caps would match, as would them both being PC2700. So I'm really only asking this: how sensible is it to end up with 1.5Gb of RAM split up as 1Gb/512MB from two different manufacturers.

If, as I suspect it will be, the answer is something along the lines of "that would be asking for trouble" then I'll add even more to my computer replacement costs by going for 2x1Gb SODIMMs from the same manufacturer, which would solve both of the problems while giving me enough RAM to play with.
