When adding ram, the only way to know for sure it will work is to buy the EXACT same ram. Sometimes other sticks work well together, but most times they don't. My advice is to either get the EXACT same ram or don't get any, because there is a serious risk you would just be waisting money. Just save up a few more bucks.

In addition, make sure you are running 64 bit windows, otherwise it would not be able to recognize more RAM.

computers_are_freaky :

both are exactly the same specifaction. except different brand.
and i have both of those ram so dont have to buy. needed some advice should or shouldnt. and about the dual channel or single channel..

You still didn't answer about windows, if they are not 64 bit (x64), you'd be wasting money for sure.

Dude, I tried this. I have an old pc that still uses ddr2, and I found a busted pc at a friends house. He gave it to me for free. I therefore checked the ram. It uses 2*2Gb sticks at identical timings and speeds as my own ram, so I thought I might as well try. First boot up, all the ram gets recognized and I'm like: YEAH!! Double ram

So I turn off th system and thats that. Try to turn on again a few minutes later to double check, and dead. No screen, just error messages. The ram was not working well with the other sticks I had. So yeah, I checked both sets and ran memtests, but no way was I getting them running together, It just said no.
I am running windows 10 64 bit as well.

If you already have it, fell free to try. It might work, who knows. It won't damage anything if the ram is not faulty. If it works, good for you, more ram, but don't be too surprised if it doesn't

Finally guys thanks for answering.
I tried both of them after a day running fine. Running in dual channel.
Ram speed in maxxmem show 11.7 gbps. And latency 76.5 ns.
How should I should I test further for their stability.

Any general benchmark program would also show memory stability and eventual problems.
