Dual Channel RAM question

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ running at stock 1.8 GHz
Motherboard: Asus A8N-V

I have a pair of OCZ Gold DDR PC3200 1GB (512 x 2) ram set up in dual channel mode right now. I havent overclocked it so it's running at stock speed (supposedly has lower latency than average value ram)

Now, what I want to know is if I want put in another 1 Gig (512 x 2) of ram in dual channel mode, do they have to be the exact same OCZ ram as well? Can I put in some Kingston Value Ram DDR PC3200 512 MB in dual channel mode right with the pair of OCZs?

I have 4 slots in my motherboard...and they are blue blue green green. I am using the blues right now for OCZ.

No.

Yes.

Please use the search function. Basic RAM questions get asked all the time.

One of these days I'll have to actually get around to putting together a FAQ for this forum...
