Most of the time it wont be a problem, the only thing i should watch for is if its the same cas ratio!

There are no guarantees when trying to mix DRAM from different packages - even if you get another identical Corsair stick....take a look through the forums and you'll find thread after thread of people having problems

Yeah I checked a lot of threads.But I have bought kingston 4gb ddr3 week ago.And my pc couldnt recognize it.So Can you tell whats my chance ? %50 maybe ?

I'd try and get a set of the full amount of DRAM you want rather than mixing, next best would be another of the same model you have (and even with the same exact model it's only 50/50)
