Hi! I would like to know if it's ok to combine two Hynix 4GB DDR-1333Mhz (came with the computer) with two Kingston 8GB DDR-1600Mhz, I was going to make the upgrade to 16GB (the two Kingston Memories), but looking in the web and in the computer i found out this model supported 32GB in 4 DIMM.

This are the specs:

Dell Precision m4600
Intel Core i7-2820QM
Quad Core 2.3Ghz 8MB
NVIDIA Quadro 2000M 2GB GDDR3

The definitive answer is - maybe. Sometimes unrelated RAM plays well together (as in my own PC), and sometimes two two-stick kits of the exact same model number will not work as a foursome without some pushing. Take a look at http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2741495/ddr3-faqs-fiction.html , especially the "Fiction" section. Our Tradesman1 mentions that sometimes you have to raise the memory voltages (carefully and by slow increments) to get all the memory to play together.
