If the memory you added is not "exactly" the same speed it will add
LATENCY even if it was faster memory. If indeed the memory is
FASTER add it 1st and if slower put it in last.
Latency can also occur do you MB design. Even though the rating
is slightly slower you should still see an increase in system performance
particularly when you run many programs or a few memory hogging
ones.
