Mixing Ram?

[DevilsHand676]

Hiya, I was looking to up my ram on my pc. I have a single stick of 8gb ddr3 right now and was just wondering if I could add 2x 4gb ddr ram to that? MoBo has 4 slots for ram so I think I can but idk. Thanks for the help

you should probably get an identical 8gb stick instead of 2x4

You can. You'd be fine.

Okay good, cause I have a backup PC that already has 2 sticks of 4 gb and if I don't need to spend more cash thats a plus

You can maybe just look at the clock speeds of the RAM sticks you have, all the RAM sticks will run at the clock speed of the RAM stick with the lowest clock speed. But unless you have a very sloooooow RAM stick, everything should be fine.
