Your laptop has two RAM sticks—one 8GB at 2133 MHz and another 8GB at 2400 MHz. Mixing them won’t affect performance because they’re both 8GB, but compatibility depends on your motherboard’s support for dual-channel configurations. Since your computer is older, check if the motherboard can handle dual-channel operation with these speeds. Dual-channel benefits are more noticeable with higher-speed sticks, so mixing might not fully utilize them.

It will probably be fine, and they will both run at 2133, and you will get dual channel.
