You will have to tweak the usage of the ram to 1333MHZ for all sticks, so in theory it should work, but if the stick is made by another manufacturer expect it not to work.

You will have to go to BIOS to change the setting. Ofcourse expect less performance if it does due to the fact you are lowering the speed of your new stick.
