If only it were that easy 😉 Interesting, manufacturers won't won't even guarantee mixing packages of the same exact model, mobo makers and CPU manufacturers recommend AGAINST mixing DRAM, and the forums are full of people try to mix as described and no joy, even with the same exact model of DRAM :)
