adding different brand mem -would this work?

[LegionX]

hi
i just installed vista 64 on my system and everything is running fine so i am considering adding more memory. i have currently 4 gigs of corsair 2x2 gig memory and am wondering if i can add my previous 2 sticks of munchkin 2 gig 1x1g sticks to make a total of 6gigs.

even though they are separate brands they both have the same timings - i think 5,5,5,18 and so i hope they would work without conflict but that's why i am here. do you guys think they will work well together or will they have conflicts?

i am using a pk5 mb and plan on using memtest 86? to run tests on it but would rather not go through the effort if you guys say it is a no go.

the other option is to buy the same corsair sticks again but i would rather have this work and be able to use the 100 bucks Canadian to add towards a newer vid card since sooner or later(6mths-1year) i will be upgrading to a newer mb and probably ddr3 memory.

any help on this question would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

ps.
i do not overclock so would keep the timings at what they are rated at.

I had no problems installing 2, 2gb Gskill, and 2, 2gb Adata. The BIOS defaults to the lowest timing of the two brands. Before that I had 2, 1gb Crucial with the 2, 2gb Gskill, and ran fine.

thanks, I'll be trying this over the weekend. i looked and the voltages are the same for both brands as well @ 1.8v so hopefully wont be a problem. thing is i took a look at my event viewer and saw errors in it which i didn't understand... if i hadn't seen them i would think my system was working flawlessly since i haven't had even a hiccup that i could see. I'll have to make a post in the operating system forum about this though.
once again thanks.
