I am currently running 2x2gb sticks of RAM:

Since these are now deactivated, would it be okay to add:

I know the timings are different but couldn't I run the older ram (7-8-7-24) at 8-8-8-24 and everything would work fine? (both have same specs except possible timings and of course the ram amount) Would they both still run in dual channel since I would be running them 4gb, 2gb, 4gb, 2gb in the RAM slots?
ALSO: is it even worth it to have more than 4 gb of ram? I do a decent amount of gaming and having multiple applications open
