You can combine any RAM from the same generation. Performance without problems isn't worth the effort to resolve issues. It's better to purchase a higher-quality kit and retire the old ones (in my opinion). Spending time troubleshooting mixed RAM is not worth it; I'd rather enjoy the system instead of dealing with flaws created by mixing different RAM types.
I was just wondering why they’re not your typical RAM—you can run EDE at double speed and it works fine, apparently. If people tried to combine them, I’d be interested to know. On the flip side, you’re correct that EDE (around 2133MHz) is quite affordable, so spending on a kit might be a smarter choice.
