I have 10600 ram in my pc right now and I have a 12800u stick. Both are DDR3. Can both be used concurrently? I am not sure if the 12600 ram is 1600mhz or 1333 mhz. There is a sticker on the RAM but I am not sure how to determine the exact specifications. I think it is 1600 though

This cannot possibly damage anything, can it? I Live on an extreme budget and this ram came from a scrap computer. there were 2 sticks of ram but one was snapped in half. I completely rebuilt and repaired my system for about 200 bucks. (acer Predator G7750 that was in a flood, picked it up in a dumpster along with the monitor and every accessory you can imagine. It took me nearly 8 months to save up and get a cheap $100 video card though. I cannot afford for this thing to go down. Nearest computer parts are 600 km away. I'd like to eventually be able to play some games on this thing but the video card is not up to task right now and need more ram.
