Hi guys. I have curently installed on my PC 1 stick of Memorie Geil Value Plus 2GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 (1.6V)
I want to buy one more stick of 4GB: Memorie Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 (1.65V)
Would this work in Dual Channel?
I wanted to buy another GEIL like that but 4GB and it seems it's no longer available in my country.
(I have only 2 slots on my motherboard)

 
Solution
Bonded dual-channel only works when both channels have identical memory configurations. If one channel has a 2GB single-sided DIMM, the other channel must have a 2GB single-sided DIMM. Same memory size, same number of sides, same number of columns, rows, banks, etc.
