99.999% of the time it either won't work or will cause instability.

What is the make/model of your motherboard?



/e Or just do this...


Get SPECCY here: http://www.piriform.com/speccy/download
...get the FREE version from either link listed.
...Speccy is a really nice system hardware/temperature, information Utility.
...simply install it...and run the program...then post a screen shot of the main page of the program, when posting a problem/question on these forums.

Lol at Ghot.
Generally mix matching works 90%of the time.
Its the odd time you have issues.
Both my kids have had mix match sets for years and no issues.

It can cause issues but it's normally not going to.
Just keep in mind if one set is slow both sets get down clocked to the lower sets speed.

Yeah, OK. I won't link the problem we just had like 3-4 weeks ago, with mis-matched RAM. :/
