Mixing ram???

[Pran]

Hello,

Recently I've been having issues with my computer slowing down and I saw that my memory was getting full(capped at 90% on idle). I decided to buy new ram, but didn't want to throw out the 8gb stick that I have.

I have 2666mhz ram and I am buying ram the same speed just it's gonna have 16gb instead of 8. Would that do anything bad? Same speed just different capacity.

Or any 8gb sticks that you all recommend(I don't care if they match you can not see through my case)

I would recommend getting the same model of RAM if you are planning to add more memory without removing the existing memory for best compatibility chances, what is the rest of your system specifications (especially motherboard and operating system), maybe it would be more cost effective to get 2x8GB for another 16GB of memory?
