I am going to build a new pc using my old triple channel 3 x 2GB corsair XMS3 DDR3 1333Mhz 9-9-9-24 sticks. This is the exact one I have: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Corsair-TR3X6G1333C9-XMS3-6GB-3x2GB-DDR3-1333-MHz-PC3-10666-Desktop-Memory-/191065892530?pt=US_Memory_RAM_&hash=item2c7c6a26b2
Back then, I didn't know much at all about PC parts and bought triple channel memory and installed it on a dual channel motherboard...which was stupid but has worked fine for me for 7 years.
Now that I'm upgrading, I'm planning on buying this motherboard which is dual channel: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00K80MYNS/?tag=pcp0f-21
Now the question is: can I buy a corsair 2GB RAM stick of the same latency and just plug it into the 4th RAM slot? I've tried looking for an identical RAM stick but they all come in 2 or 3 sticks whereas I only need the 1. So far, I've found this one: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-corsair-ddr3-xms3-pc3-10666-%281333%29-non-ecc-unbuffered-cas-9-9-9-24-150v This one isn't identical to the other 3 sticks but is the same size and has the same latency - will it work or cause problems?
