How does "New" BH-5 mix with "Old" BH-5

I have some extra "old" Kingston BH-5 and need more for a new project. Anyone know how compatible the "new" stuff, such as OCZ PC3200 Gold (supposedly made from BH-5 dies), or even some of the new UTT low latency is by comparison? It would be the cheap way to just get some new stuff to make up the difference, and the extra $ could go elsewhere (like cooling upgrades).

What I'm looking for is compatability and that they play well together.

Have you ever tried to mix them and see what OC results you got? The reason is that I have run BH-5 and BH-6 together at stock speeds just fine, but when OCing, they don't get along as well as pure, one or the other does.

i've tried 4 sticks but not one of each

the only difference between the two seem to be the voltages required to get to certain fsb
