Mixing and matching RAM when adding more?

Electronique · 16th October 2008

Hi.. Ive made the move to Vista 64, from being on XP.

I currently have 2GB of DDR2 800Mhz.

Can I add another 4GB of DDR2 800Mhz (different brand), without the risk of incompatibility?

Why im worried. It will be a different brand, and most probably have different latency (ie 5-5-5-15)... But I will obviously stick to DDR2 800Mhz.

Will I have any problems?

Bump for the title change and (hopefully) better explanation.
