Solution
Yes, you can use faster RAM. It will just default to the slower speed. But mixing speeds, brands, timings, voltages, etc. is a recipe for problems when using a dual channel memory system. Might be why you had problems to begin with. That's why dual channel memory is always sold in MATCHED pairs.
