You might experiment with combining them, but performance won’t increase. It will operate using DDR3 667 instead of the expected DDR3 800. If you don’t have dual channels with three sticks, it should still function.
The outcome depends on your system configuration. Removing 2 microns of RAM and adding a single Kingston RAM module may affect performance, stability, or compatibility with other components. Always check your motherboard specifications before making changes.
It's an older port where memory usage wasn't a huge concern. It won't have a massive effect, but with current games and similar titles, it will remain noticeable.
It's surprising when running in single-channel mode, as the performance drops by around 30%. It doesn't depend on age, but using only one channel really slows down the CPU.
Unless your memory is nearly empty, the page file performs worse than a single-channel setup—it's hardly impressive.

That will take a long time on W10, consider going back to W8.1 or 7 unless you're okay with missing every new update. If you really need W10, make sure your storage is SSD and your CPU is a Phenom X4 before upgrading.
