Most of the time you will probably be okay mixing. That being said you can have issues. Are there different latencies on the ram? With the speed difference your ram will run at the lower speed. If the latency is different the ram will run at the higher (slower) latency. As long as the modules can scale to these differences you'll be fine. I've mixed tons of ram before and never had a problem. But others have. And the only reason I mixed was because it's what I had lying around or acquired for free. If it were me, when buying the ram, I at least match all variables(speed, latency, voltage). I would go with the team group. If you mix and nothing goes awry, then no worries. If you mix and something goes funky, then that's time and even more money you waste.
