I've got my rig overclocked with a 1GB stick of Corsair ValueSelect, and I ordered another. The ram is running at roughly 210 MHz (OC'ed from 200) and I wonder if I should undo my overclock before installing the second stick? I considered that maybe since the clock is low, I wouldn't need to. What should I do?
 
err... try it with 210 and if it doesnt work go to 200 and then re-OC to find what that ram can do... usually value ram need to be really close to 200 like 210 max.... so just give it a try
 
By all means, start from scratch. Even if they are the same brand and model, if you are buying two unmatched sticks of RAM, there is no guarantee of compatibility between their timings. The first stick might overclock well, but the second stick not so much, or vice versa. You could start at 210 and take your chances, but what do you gain by doing this? The risk outweighs the gain. Personally I would start at 200 and work my way up just to be safe.
