You can try adding, no guarantees when mixing packages of DRAM - even if they are the same exact model - if you try and have problems, give a shout and we can try timing/voltage adjustments which often will get them to play, but not guaranteed. Best to get full amount you want/need in a single package ;)

Part of the problem is that every RAM stick has a controller and they keep changing them and of course most manufacturers keep their own. Other part is MB and it's BIOS that doesn't allow separate control for each bus but have one control for all of them.
It used to be much worse with DDR2 and older, there were single and double sided chips and not all MBs could handle both. Older, SDRAM where finicky as hell and had to be factory paired and checked so two sticks even of same make and type would work together.
