Should I have bought some matched RAM?

I just bought 2 x 512's of Corsiar XMS PC3200 (separately) for my new build of a P4 2.4c on an IC7. I plan on OC'ing and have no idea why I didn't buy a matched pair of 512's from newegg. What are the chances that this is going to give me a problem? You think newegg would take 'em back for a matched pair (I suppose only they can tell me that....)?

Peace,

it most likely won't be an issue
you should be alright as long as they are the same make/model of memory then they should overclock about the same
when they prepare a matched pair of mem modules they don't test them at overclocked speeds they only verify that they work together at their rated speed in dual channel mode

i purchased a matched pair just cause it was cheaper that way for me
but the truth is it really don't matter as long as you have the same kinda sticks
