it's not bad, but it could affect your overclock as their capabilities might be different...all ram cards capabilities are different, but with the same brand, it's not such a difference in most cases.

Other than that, there are no problems. If you have a 512meg stick, and 128 meg stick, try to OC the 512 stick to the max first, then try to boot it at the same speed with both sticks. If it doesnt work, I say ditch the 128 stick. And so on...

At stock speed it HAS to be fine. If it is not, then it is bad ram, and you have to RMA it.

generic ram tends to have a bad rep...i believe that generic ram runs slower that what it's rated for...but adding more to that 256 will help if you're running anything over win98se.
