Just install in slots 1-3 or try 2-4 and see if it boots, if so look in CPU-Z (free utility program) and it will tell you what freq they are running at and in what mode (single/dual) in the Memory tab - the freq indicated will be true so double it for what the effective is - i.e. if 667 then you are at 1333. From there can then try manually setting to 1600

if it is from the same family ex. ddr2 or ddr3 then yes also you need to be careful at your motherboard specs to see what kind of ram it can run and not end buying a ddr3 ram for a ddr2 ram motherboard or the contrary.

So is it OK to have two different RAMS, The same Capacity (which is 4gb DDR3) but different Frequency. For Example 1333 and 1600 or 1600 and 1866 . There will be no Problem with the Memory Controller about the Timings. I can Run it Dual Channel ?

A motherboard needs to manage all the ram sticks with the same voltage, speed and timings.
If you have the sticks, try them.
If you are buying more ram, consider buying one matched kit.
Ram vendors will not support mixed ram. You are on your own there.

Yeahh your right. I think i will buy it on the same vendor with the same specification next time. I just use the other Stick on my other Desktop hehehe :D I thought it will not work cause somebody told me that different RAM specs wont work. Including Frequency and Latency.

Another Thing. What Volt do I need to use?. A 1.65V or 1.5 only ? Because Vengeance Uses 1.5 and HyperX uses 1.65 for the 1x4gb 1600 kit. I wanna know which is better.

And Can someone explain to me about it Volts. What it can affect ?

Thanks in Advance :D Heheeh
