There can be very small variations in the silicon that will make them not work nicely together, even if they are identical. Thats why RAM is sold in sets, the manufacturer tested and made sure they work together. You will have to, I believe, down-clock it or tweak the timings to make them play nice.

I'm not certain how to downclock DDR2, nor where it would be in that bios. I only have experience with DDR3 and DDR4, do a little research if you are adamant about making this work. I would do more harm than good to give you instructions, I gave you the only two cents that I had so to speak.

Nevrmind , I Just Switched Places like 20Times And Now The PC Wont boot....It gives a Long beep ( Not continuous ) and stays forever even if Ram is placed in 1 slot nor both slot :( I think That My Mobo Died ....It was a new mobo though i will Ask For The Warranty Repair...
