    Is it any problem to mix brands of ram? Since i found a single 2GB ddr3 1066mhz stick on newegg for 30something dollars. And on xotic they'll be charing me 55USD for the second stick of 2GB of ram. So is it a problem to mix 2 different manufacturers of ram and also knowing that both have the same technical specifications?
