Memory with different timings

[evilwillie0614]

i want to upgrade my 4gb ddr2 and add another 4gb but my problem is
i only got 1 option another memory with same speed but different timings.
is it possible to put another memory even they have different timings?
or it will affect my system and generate problem later on?

Links to both sets please?

Typically you can run both sets at the speeds of the highest timed kit.
Example: 1600mhz kit 8-9-8-27 and another 1600kit 7-8-7-24, add them together and both sets will need to run at 8-9-8-27 to make things easy.

It will drop down to whatever the lowest/loosest settings in your system

i feel lazy to find my files.. but i got your point. so they will meet up in a certain timing.
any complications in the near future? im just worried if i uy the new kit and later on
i'll face a problem.

Maybe a voltage issue ?. Should try to get some with the same voltage

I did this before and no issues (same speed and voltage), but on some boards dual channel may no work properly.

it would be ok if you run it both. but the timing and the speed will follow the slowest ram. but for the best performance pair it with the same speed
