This is the ram I am planning to buy
http://www.flipkart.com/corsair-xms3-ddr3-4-gb-1-x-gb-pc-ram-cmx4gx3m1a1600c9/p/itmd2ryprvhxjqcu?pid=RAMD2RYPY7MHHHUV&icmpid=reco_pp_hSame_ram_12

As you can see the part number is exactly the same. But some of the info I read online it seems that quite a few people have had problems getting their rams to work. And they recommend buying "packs" of ram that have been tested by the company
Please let me know
1. Will it work together.
2. Will it work in Dual channel mode
Thank you

Mixing DRAM can be problematic, even with the same exact model, it's best to get a single package with the total amount of DRAM you require.....with that said, if you do decide to try adding another 4GB stick, it's 1600/9 so can probably get them to play nice with voltage/timing adjustments....no guarantee, but chances are real good, been helping folks do this for years over at the GSkill Forums

My other option was to dump this and get 2X4 GB Gskill Ripjaws.
I live in a city where you can only buy what the dealer has stocked in this case its some local brand of ram and digilite motherboard.
So I got my friend from another city to get me a system and he put in a corsair 4gb

The only problem is that nobody would buy 4gb of corsair. 2gb is considered a big thing here.
I don't want to lose my money.

I just wanted a little clarity.
Are you saying. It won't work at all(if my luck is bad) that is the new stick will be a total waste.
Or will the dual channel not work?

Simply saying it may or may not work, there's no guarantee which is why DRAM is sold in a variety of packages and number of sticks, they normally cost more than single sticks, because the manufacturers test them to ensure the sticks in a package work together....

Since I will be buying it online I guess I can't take the risk. I remember there was a time when you could just keep on adding any brand or ram.

I was going to ask about another Idea I got.
I have 4 slots I thought let me put 2x4gb gskill and move my current corsair to the 3rd of 4th slot
So the gskill runs on dual channel mode while the corsair runs by itself.
But I guess there is a chance they will not work together at all is what you are saying

Thanks for taking the time the reply

If you go 2x4GB, then you're good at 8GB, then go ahead and try adding the old - if it will play, then you have bonus DRAM could simply use it, make a RAMDisk for a big performance boost, etc....and if you do try, give me a shout if any problems, can often get them to play with voltage and timing adjustments, same as original, no guarantee but possible, if they won't play can often sell old DRAM or stick it in another rig

Sorry I meant 2x2 gb. I guess I will have to try 2x4 instead.
I don't have another rig to put the ram into and like I said before nobody in my city wants a 4gb ram even if they do they would never buy a corsair. Its not available here. Even Gskill is not available but I can buy it online.
I should try selling it on craiglist type of website I guess as this corsair got a 10 year warranty.
Just one last question. If I get a gskill 2x2gb set and if the corsair does not work. Will another set of 2x2gb of gskill work together as 8gb?
Or do you think its a safer bet to try selling my corsair and go in for a 2x4gb gskill?
Thanks
