One more thing, Rudy. IF one set of matched sticks is designed to run slower than the other set, the entire cluster of 4 sticks will run at that lower speed. This is assuming that both sets are within the max speed of the mainboard. If one set is rated at the speed of the mainboard and the other is rated higher, they would both be running at the lower speed anyway since the mainboard can't run them any faster than its max.
