I'm building a frankenstein build for a side project, from various left over parts. I have a microATX MOBO, with only 2 RAM 1033/1333 slots in dual channel. I have 3 DDR3 RAM sticks, 2x2GB and 1x4GB, all Corsair 1600MHz CL9 1.65V.
My initial problems is that my MOBO doesn't support 1600MHz, but my understanding is that this shouldn't matter much. My main question, is can I mixed 1x4GB and 1x2GB in the dual channels given that all other criteria are matching? Or would I just be better off going with 2x2GB?
Disclaimer: This MOBO has given me issues in the past, though could have been the result of faulty memory. Never did fully troubleshoot the problem.
