Hey guys, I ran into an issue I don't really have much experience with on my
OLD P4 3.4 Ghz Dell XPS system from Dec 2004:
The system came with 2 74GB WD 10k Raptors in RAID0 (which is still a pretty
decent perf setup from what I understand). 1 is in SATA0 and the other is
in SATA2. A couple

With the higher voltage there is a risk of it frying the laptop. It's
unlikely due to internal regulators and there only being a 1v difference,
but it is possible.

I've got a stick of Hynix, DDR2 667 and also Nanya DDR2 667.
Both are 1 gig, and the timings are exactly the same.
Is it safe to put it into a laptop and expect proper functioning dual

Is it a must to have matched pairs?
