Short and sweet because I know these questions are common:

I have an Alienware rig with 1gb (2x512mb) of ddr400 (unknown brand and timings). I just ordered 2gb (2x1gb) of Kingston HyperX to put in. Should I utilize the 512mb sticks with the 1gb sticks or will it slow me down. It would be nice to have 3gb but not if just drags me down.
 
it shouldn't slow you down... I would put the 1 GB modules in the first slots slots and the 512 MB modules in the latter two... you could always run a benchmark before and after for peace of mind...
