2 different types of ram in same machine?

Question

I was wonder, currently I have Corsair Ram (2x 1G) at 2-3-3-6, and I want to upgrade to 4 gb. Would it wise to get another of the same Corsair Ram (same exact model), or would installing another type of ram in addition to the Corsair be any different? I have found OCZ ram (2x 1GB) thats 2-3-2-5.

Answer 1

You could run into single bit memory errors the Cas latency timing is off. I'd try to stay with the same ram in your rig..

Answer 2

As long as it's the same RAM type i.e. DDR2 800, the timing values SHOULDN'T matter and they SHOULD work fine together.

Notice the word should. There is a chance problems will occur.
