4x 2GB Ram on Dual Channel Board

[TSK_REX]

Hey There! I Have A Intel Dh67Cl mobo, and there are 4 slots for ram on it 2 of them are black and 2 of them are blue.ive currently installed 2x2GB ddr3 rams (both on black slots).I was wondering for an upgrade,so i thought what if i bought 2 more 2GB rams and place them on the other two blue slots.my question is-
1.will it give me a total of 8GBs?
2.will it work? Without problems?
3.can i mixmatch the ram brands?
4.will it mean I'm dual chanelling 4Gbs?

Thanks

1.will it give me a total of 8GBs?

If they will work, yes, because the MB can support up to 32GB ( 4 X 8GB) http://ark.intel.com/products/50101/Intel-Desktop-Board-DH67CL

2.will it work? Without problems?

In theory they will, but you will mix the two sets of RAM, so nobody will know on paper until you try. But recommend to check your MB manual to see how to set up the intel XMP. Using the old set of RAM, boot into the BIOS to set the XMP, save and exit, shut down the PC. Add other set of RAM, boot the PC.

3.can i mixmatch the ram brands?

Yes, you can, but recommend to match them with same speed/timing, don't buy the nobrand RAM. Good brand is like gskill, other like Crucial, Corsair, etc. And you should use cpu-Z to check the RAM specification, or take the RAM out to check it out. If you have the budget, buy the 2 X4GB or 2X8GB, and sell the 2X2GB.

4.will it mean I'm dual chanelling 4Gbs?

If the RAM will work, the RAM will be in dual channel 8GB (4X 2GB)
