It might work, sometimes its ok but all your RAM will run at the lowest speed 1333. However mixing RAM can cause problems, the system may not boot, could be unstable or suffer performance issues. Even buying the exact same make and model is not guaranteed to work, it is why RAM is sold in matched sets to guarantee each stick will work with the rest. Usually same make and model is ok but there is a small chance even that wont work.
