Back in September I bought this 2GB kit from newegg:

I just purchased this kit, thinking it was the same version:

they're not the same. One is Platinum the other Gold.
I know ZERO about memory timing, but it looks like the Platinum is rated @ 4-4-4-15 and the Gold is rated @ 5-5-5-12.
Is this like pc100 and pc133, where the pc133 would "down clock" to pc100? OR will both pair of memory run at their rated speed?
I do not overclock my processor so I am not worried about overclocking.
I run 4-5 VMWare Virtual Windows 2003 servers on this physical server, and occasionally play FEAR and HALFLIFE (with the virtual servers offline.)
Is having 2 different memory modules going to screw up my system?
