Can a 2gb ram and a 4gb ram work smoothly together and give a result of 6gb ram???

[Nikos_Pol]

I have a Giga-byte GA-H61M-S2V-B3 Motherboard in which there are 2 RAM slots. One is filled with a EX-CELERAM ( E30106A,9-9-9-24) 2gb ram and i want to add a 4gb ram so to make my PC work with a total of 6gb ram. Can i do it?? Is dual channel good for my PC and gaming??? Do i have to find an exact same brand of ram to add to my PC??

( I am new to this stuff so please help me ,even if my questions are stupid )

As long as the connections between the motherboard/RAM are correct, it should work fine. I did a bit of research and this should work perfectly, have a look.

You will certainly notice improvements in gaming/rendering, or similar tasks when going from 2GB to 6GB RAM.
Here is a list of RAM that you can buy and use:

As you can see, most of them have difference color. All except the black one has a green memory module. Some have red heat spreaders on them, and one has yellow on it. Heat spreaders for this level of RAM is mainly for looks. I would simply buy the first one on the list, since it is the cheapest. However, the choice if up to you.

If you are not located in the US, please let me know.
Note: Your motherboard has a max of 16GB, 8GB in each slot.

In general mixing DRAM is not recommended as it can be problematic...the sticks may not play together, if going to try, put the 4GB stick in slot 1 and the 2 gb in slot 2, not sure if the GB you have supports flesx mode, if not will have the 6GB running in single channel, if it does and they'll play together will have 4GB in dual and 2 GB in single channel mode
