DDR2 Ram compatibility

[Gabriel Arellano]

Hey everyone, this is my third topic and is kind of a noobie thing, but i don't have experience on that and along with the fact that i live in Venezuela and hardware components price is too high, i need to be sure of this. I have a MSI k9a2-cf with AMD Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition, and 4gb of DDR2 1066mhz model KHX8500D2K2/4G ram installed; I need to upgrade to 8gb but in Venezuela the sticks i have are not sold anymore and the only solution is use this G.Skill F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK. Both have the same specifications, tested clock speed (1066mhz stable), but i'm not sure about how compatibility can affect the system. 

 

My question is: Using these 2 different models of ram can cause a No posting situation or a blue screen or something like that? 

 

I would really appreciate your help, thanks and have a good day

If they clocked at the same speed there is no problem using different brands of memory
