You just run the chance that they won't necessarily respond exactly the
same,
meaning that your computer COULD lock up if writing a large block of data to
RAM propogates at different speeds to each stick. Many lockup problems
relate to ever-so-slightly not compatible RAM. Just try it and see - you
won't
hurt anything. If your computer starts locking up for no reason, or has
weird
errors, that could be the reason. Chances are you're fine. If not, you'll
probably
know why.
