Again, it's a maybe, unless they are packaged together (they have been tested to play nice) even buying single of the same exact model is a crapshoot

its not good to mix different RAM, and no you can't mix the speeds either. If it does run, and that is a big if, it will have to run at the same frequency and timings as the slower RAM.

I suggest just getting a new 8GB kit and not try mixing RAM.

All else being equal, the new memory might work with the existing memory. It depends whether the memory module characteristics are close enough to each other to allow compatible operation between the two modules.

If they work together, the modules will run at 1333 MHz by default.
