Mixing RAM with different timings

    I currently have 2x2GB sticks of Corsair PC6400 RAM with timings of 5-5-5-18.
    I have the opportunity to get another 2x2GB fairly cheap but I am wondering how well the two different types of RAM will play together.

    The proposed sticks are OCZ Reaper PC6400 and run at 4-4-4-15.

    Will this work, and if so, is there much of a job getting it to work or is it just slot in in and go?

    Thanks in advance.

    As far as i know all the ram will run at the same speed as the lowest one you have.

    Exactly, your RAM overall is as fast as your slowest DIMM.
