Hi illusion, this will work, as long as the memory is close in speed, and the same type (ddr, ddr2, sdram)

Hi as long as you have spare sockets for it on your mainboard and it is compatible yes it should work.

Thanks guys

Garhar, what do you mean by close in speed?

And is this correct? As long as it's the same type ddr, ddr2, sdram... it can be any number combination? Like 128 with 256 or 256 with 512, etc...
