There are no guarantees when trying to mix DRAM from different packages - even if you get another identical Corsair stick....take a look through the forums and you'll find thread after thread of people having problems ;)

Just like the guy above me said .. You can't ever be sure , I've tried putting a build of 2 different type of RAM and it gave me some problems , I've tried it on another PC build with a friend of mine and it worked just fine , also after I retried with the PC where it didn't work before I tried again and after some Tweaking on the BIOS I got it to work some how .. If you up to waste money (maybe) do it , it's like a 3 out of 10 that it wont work but if you need the money you might asweel just look for the same type of RAM you already have and not lose money .. ;)
