for best results, you want to match your ram speed.

I find for best results its best to use one company for all sticks.

so that means you can use different brand of RAM, as long as you will stick with the similar RAM speed. that won't hurt the systems performance?, it will still have the same performance as the RAM with similar speed and company?

ram is ram, aslong as they have the same specs, speed, latency, etc, then its fine.

but again I would recommend going with the same company for all sticks.
