Hello everyone! :P

 

Sorry if I did typo in topic title :D. So I just ordered a new MOBO (ASUS F2A85-V PRO). And now I have one ram stick from my old mobo (Crucial 4GB DDR3 Ballistix) Thought, maybe I could buy another same ram stick and put it in (I think this mobo uses dual channel RAM technology) would that be a good Idea? Would it work flawlessly? When I got the ram it was Pack of 2 with one taken out, becouse I only bought one :D

 

EDIT: Sorry for bold! :D

It isn't guarenteed to work even with the same make/model of RAM is used, but it's more likely than different RAM modules. If you want to be sure then you should get a pair of matched modules, then you can add the other module if you would like, that stick will just be slower.
