As I'm slowly upgrading my potato PC, but still with a low budget, the next question popped up:

Can I use a 2Gb ram stick with a 4Gb one? I have a 2x 2Gb 1333 MHz stick and I can get a 4 Gb one with the same speed? It won't work extremely well in dual channel, but will it still be an improvement having 6Gb of ram vs 4? Can it cause any issues, especially when gaming?

Motherboard: Gigabyte G41MT-S2P
OS: 64bit Win7
450W PSU
 
Solution
If the sticks will even play together you can use them together, there's no guarantee. As Pinhedd decribes above, Intel has utilized Flex mode back to around 2004
