Can 2 different brands of memory coexist?

I added a 1 gig memory stick (DDR400/PC3200) to a computer that already had one slot filled with a 512 MB stick.

Will the fact that the 2 memory sticks are different brands present any issues? And does it make any difference which slot has the larger memory size?
