I have a corsair stick of RAM in my PC now and was going to buy another stick of different brand RAM the timings are the same just they have a .1 V difference. Would this matter? Can I use them together.
Thanks.

Solution
Never!mix ram brands or models even if it had the same voltage and frequency you will experience very slow performance or may not even boot or cause problems.
