Hello, I have a question regarding RAM compatibility when adding RAM to a system. In my current rig, I have this RAM:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004GUT33K/?tag=pcpapi-20
It is Patriot Memory Division 2 Viper XTreme DDR3 4gb (2x2gb) PC3-12800 1600MHz 1.65v 8-9-8-24 timing memory. It is currently occupying 2 of my 4 ram slots on my motherboard. I want to add another 2 modules (another 2x2gb or 2x4gb), and I am wondering if all the specs have to be exactly the same. For example, in the remaining two slots, could I add two 4gb, 1600MHz sticks of a different brand- say, Corsair? Does it matter if the voltage is the same (it seems that 1.5v is more common than 1.65v)? What about the timing?
Would any of these memory modules be compatible?

If not, could you suggest some that would be compatible? Thanks.
