[QUOTE="trademark, post: 1140219, member: 30066"] You can mix and match the brands, cas latency and clock speed of the modules, but as long as you have matching total amounts of memory in either bank, you will still get dual channel memory. If you don't, it will still work, but you won't get dual channel bandwidth. The memory controller will do all the downscaling of the clock speed itself. Now as to why you would want dual channel bandwidth, it's just an unnecessary quality to have. In reality you won't notice any difference in everyday workflow, but you might as well do it. [/QUOTE]
