They are all ddr2 667.but not the same brand name.the 512's came with the computer.the others i bought from crucial. thanks.- You can search around and find that some think the bigger RAMs should go into slots 1 and 3, however, I haven't seen any proof.Dimension 9100, Dual-Boot Win XP / Vista Home Premium, 3.0 GHz P4, 3 GB DDR2 533 MHz RAM, 160 GB SATA II Samsung (XP), 300 GB SATA II Seagate (Vista), 250 GB SimpleTech USB (WD Drive), Nvidia Go 6800 (425/825 MHz - XP, 400/800 MHz - Vista, Vista Driver - 163.75), Dell 1901 UltraSharp FP

I don't believe it matters if the 512s or the 1gigs are first or not. As long as they are matching pairs and they should run fine. If they are at different speeds then the memory will only run at the slowest speed of the memory.
