[SOLVED] RAM Query

[tordragon]

I have two 8mb Vengeance Ram 3600mhz working nicely in dual channel.

Im thinking of getting two more , do I need tom get the same model, or can I mix them, and have two dual channels, be mis-matched?

Different question but same answer?

I want to know, can I operate two disctinctly different dual channels.

Previous question was compatibility within one channel.

It's same thing, you can try but it might not work, in best case all will work on frequency and latency of slower RAM.

With identical set of RAM you would have 90% chance for all of them to work together well but some CPUs may not be able to run them in full speed when both channels are used.
