Noob here, trying to buy some extra ram for my setup. I apologize if this a silly question.
CPU: intel i7 950

MOBO: ASUS P6X58D-E LGA

Memory: Patriot Viper II Sector 7 Edition 6GB Model PV736G1600ELK

I'm trying to decide if I should purchase two sets of these ram and use only 3 sticks of 2 GB, will I be able to keep my triple channel benefit and will there be compatibility issues between the two sets of different branded RAM? Thanks for the responses in advance!
