Can different memory Series be mixed?

Currently have a stick of Corsair XMS5123000C2PT - This memory is getting hard to come by.

Was thinking of ordering an additional 512 stick of XMS3200 to go with it.

Will they work together?

Thanks.
 
By "work together" do you mean just work together, or work in dual channel? They should work together just fine (no way of knowing for sure, but the chances that you'll have problems are very slim), but I doubt you'll get them to run in dual channel together.
 
By work together I mean are they compatible with one another on the same motherboard with mild overclocking? I am so far out of the loop lately I don't even know what you mean by Dual Channell but I look it up tonight when I get home.

Sounds like they would according to your reply correct?

Thanks

yes - I'm pretty much sure it will work perfectly fine...
 
IIRC the only difference between your RAM and the stuff you're looking to buy is the timings...well, OK, I'm sure it's on different silicon, but same speed and everything.

Basically, it should work fine with mild overclocking, but you may not be able to run it at 2-2-2-6 or anything. I'd probably guess dual channel would work too.

However, IF you do have RAM problems (pretty slim chance), you know why. Once you get everything installed and overclocked, run memtest overnight to test your setup.
 
Thanks for all of the replies, I guess I'll order some soon. I emailed Corsair these same questions three days ago, waiting for a response. Wonderful customer service:rolleyes:
