Does mixed RAM decrease your system performance???

Mixed meaning different sizes of one speed rating? or mixing dimms of different speeds? Mixing different sizes shoulnt be a problem. Mixing say, PC100 and PC133 will result in all the ram running at PC100 speeds.

What I meant is different manufacturers of RAM with same speed, ie. using 1 PC133 Crucial and 1 PC133 Mushkin, etc. I know the size shouldn't be problem at all.
Thanx.

not true necessarily. i have pc100 and pc133 ram in my system and i have all the ram running smoothly at 133mhz w/o any lockups, etc. depends on what you set it in the bios and if your pc100 ram is stable enough to hit higher speeds.
 
i am mixing 1 128mb mushkin rev1.5 and 1 256mb crucial pc133, system works fine, no performance hit
 
RAM is RAM.

There are way too many people on this web site that swear by name brand RAM. Hey, maybe if you are running a server with critical data it may be worth having name brand ECC RAM, or if you want to OC your RAM. But, for most of us, just buy generic and like it. No, mixing is not going to hurt anything.
