Ok this is the deal. I am preparing for Battlefield 4.
At the moment I have : biostar g41d3c. Intel celeron E3400 , OC on 3,1 GHZ,

RAM:2x2GB , first stick AXEGA which is strange one and i do not have much info on it (it has CL9). Second stick Silicon Power 2GB DDR3 1333Mhz SP002GBLTU133V02.
They work for me for now.cpu-t.dual-canal. SDP :axega 9:9:9:24:33 (on 666mhz), silicon 9:9:9:25:34 (on 684mhz). Memory: ~470 mhz , 6:6:6:15:64 1T

Next is my AMD HD 4850 :512 mb(sapphire). 500 hdd. 450 wat.
I realy do not have alot of cash. I will upgrade from local stores ! I will buy:

ASRock 970 Extreme4 : 80 EU.
AMD FX-6300 3.50 GHz : 100 EU.
Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 7770 Vapor-X : 100 EU.

My Q is: Is it possible to put 3 sticks 3x2gb DDR3 1333 on ASRock 970 Extreme4 . And to have good performance :
my axega + silicon + any similar 2 gb ddr3 1333.
Do you think they will work. How-like dual cannel, single cannel or i have to put 2 x 2 gb and 2x 2 gb .
I can buy :
one DDR3, 2GB, 1333MHz, Transcend JetRam 240Pin, DIMM, CL9, Gold Lead (JM1333KLU-2G) : 18 EU
or
DDR3, 2GB, 1333MHz, Silicon Power (SP002GBLTU133V02) : 15 EU

thanks in advance :] Mike from Bulgaria.
 
Solution
You can put 3X 2GB DDR3 into the MB, but it is possible that they are not compatible because you mix the different brand RAM. If they work together than the RAM will be in the single channel mode, and you will lost performances in the single channel mode.

Usually we don't recommend to mix the ram, BUT If you want to try, buy the third one and make sure you can returen it if you can't boot the PC after mix 3 together.
