I currently have a pair of 8GB Crucial Ballistix in my computer, but I was thinking about upgrading the ram to a bigger size. I understand that it's advised to use ram that was tested and packaged together, and I really don't want my current set to be taken out, so I was just going to buy a new set of 16GB and plug it in alongside the current 8GB.
My question is, if these two sets are both running dual-channel, would the new set operate at the speed of the first set if the first was a slower speed? Or would each dual-channel set operate at the speed it advertises? I know that two sticks grouped together would operate at the lower stick's speeds, but was unsure about how this scenario would work.
