I have 8 gb of ddr3 1333mhz ram . (2x4) It's the standard in my Acer Predator G3620. So i opened it up and realised that the rams brand was named "Nanya" I've never heard of that and i got no results of searching. I'm planning to upgrade my ram to 16 gb by adding two more 4 gb sticks. (My motherboard supports up to 16gb ram with a speed of 1333mhz ddr3)(Theres four ram slots.. two blue and two black. The current ones are in the blue ones.) Would it be possible to add two peices of 4gb ram from another brand like corsair or kingston with 1333mhz ddr3? Could they work together with "Nanya"? If not.. question number two: Is there anyway to buy "Nanya" ram anymore?

Nanya is an OEM manufacturer, they usually aren't aftermarket, though you can buy it. They actually do produce very good RAM. On that note however, you should not mix RAM, even from the same manufacturer. You will be better off just buying a set of 4x4GB or 2x8GB RAM. Your machine will be able to take any 240 pin DDR3 sets.

I would be more likely to do the 4x4gb option. Some older motherboards don't accept 8gb sticks without a bios update and a lot of "name brand" computers won't let you fiddle with the bios much. If you want to go for 16 gb as he said your best bet is to buy a new 16gb kit. If you know before hand you can change timings/voltages in your bios you "might" can mix some memory in if not I wouldn't try it as it almost always needs some changes in order to work properly.

It will likely default to 1333 and run at 9-9-9-27 or 30 timing no matter what ram you put in... thats why I asked what the bios on the computer looks like. If you can play with the setting there then it might be worth getting slightly faster memory. If you can't just buy the slower stuff.

Huge is a relative term. It has been shown that using faster memory (when using onboard video) makes a pretty big difference, but not nearly as much when using a dedicated video card. If you can't play in your bios it won't matter what memory you choose, and honestly it won't make a massive fps difference either way (assuming you have a graphics card)
