from my experience with computer parts. RAM modules must be better identical(recomended but not necessary ) if you like to use Dual-channel architecture,but is not always necessary, moreover you can turn this Dual-channel architecture off on bios, then you have no problems if you use different models totally: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-channel_architecture

AFG, I am not disputing you, nor am I dis-agreeing with you

I am just saying from my experience with PC hardware (and that goes back to AT PC's )

Yes it is ALWAYS preferable to have the same stick from the same manufacturer, but it has NO effect on the real-world RAM performance.

Unless of course you are using Ram Sticks from Dodgy Brothers Computer Hardware.

In which case, THAT ram is probably going to fail anyway.

If the RAM is all from reputable manufacturers and has the same speed and voltage, there are no issues.
