Multi-million dollar Cheyenne supercomputer auction ends with $480,085 bid — buyer walked away with 8,064 Intel Xeon Broadwell CPUs, 313TB DDR4-2400 ECC RAM, and some water leaks
12gb of RAM. Is it a good idea?

Who told you that??? Of course you can. Some people say you shouldn't, but thats another issues. I've used different sized ram sticks in the past and had no issue. Again, forget whether you should or not, don't give false info saying can't use them because that is false.

What the guy told you is false you can use 8 and 4 gig sticks together. Also no you can't set one stick or ram to be be set aside for one task and the other stick for another task. You have pool of ram and it is all available for any job that needs it.

Sure you can. I have 2 different sticks in my laptop. Came with 4; I added 8 to it. 100% stable. Not even the same manufactuer.
It will match timings to the slower of the 2 RAM sticks, but it's generally a good idea to try to match latency and timings between sticks so you're not degrading the performance of a faster stick.
