I was thinking about buying a new RAM.
I have an 4GB ADATA DDR3 1333MHz Ram, And the one I'm willing to buy is 4GB GSkill DDR3 1600MHz.
Will they work fine together, or will one RAM be ejected?

They might play, they might might not, even if you get another stick of the same exact model. If they do play, it will depend on the mobo/CPU what they can/will run at, if the mobo is native to 1066, then they will prob go to the mobos default, again IF they will play, it's possible to can set them to run at 1600 manually....Lots of variables, but the big one they may not even play together. It's best to get all you want/need in a single package, that way you get sticks tested to play nice

They should work fine, bit they will clock down to the lower speed (1333MHz) So you'll have 8g at 1333MHz, I would just buy another 4g at 1333MHz. No point in getting 1600MHz when it's getting clocked down.
