I don't know enough to answer all your questions, but I'm pretty sure that ALL the ram chips in a PC have to be "compatible" with each other.  I don't think its a "mix and match" situation.    --AnnaSummers

Hello, I am reading about all the info you all share here, and was wondering how I can find out what my PC is doing at any given moment. I would like to know what my RAM levels are running certain apps. If I have enough(I think it is 256MB).
  I am running an 5-6 yr old Xp Home PC custom built for perusing the internet. I had it built and bought it that way long ago to look for WAH opportunities and looking for dating sites. 
  I have only had to do a clean install once and am very happy with my antique PC. I have another with Win 98, but it is compromised, as it has some corrupted files on it and wanted to take the RAM from it(wouldn't know the amount, until I crack the case) and make that(98) HD the slave to the antique. I hope this is making sense. What procedure would work best?  
  Should I just buy new RAM to upgrade? I am not sure of how many slots I have for RAM either. I will be doing this soon as I am learning that I need a lot more RAM. I would imagine the Win98 has the same amount of RAM on it or less. How does one tell?
   
  Summary of questions asked in this post:
   
  1) How do I know what apps are using RAM at any given moment?
  2)What procedure will work best in transferring RAM from one PC to another?
  3)Should I just buy new RAM to upgrade?
  Thanks for you help.
