Okay, so currently I have this RAM from Corsair

Corsair 2GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM VS2GB1333D3

And I'm planning to buy another 2gb one.

Looking at this one:
Gskill F3-10666CL9S-2GBNQ

The GSkill one costs 300 bucks less and has the same lifetime warranty as the corsair one so was thinking of going with it. The Latency for both is the same and I guess that's what matters, right?

So the RAMs will work okay together, right?

Stupid question it maybe but I'd like to be sure before buying anything.

Thanks a lot for pointing that out to me. You've helped save me a bit with this info. :)

Ya, it will work fine, but I guess it won't be working in Dual Mode then. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

They should work fine. You will get Dual Channel.

So, I guess it should work. Anyway, if I can manage to get the corsair one, I'll get it.

It will work fine in dual channel. The only prerequisite for RAMs working effectively in dual channel are : Same capacity, same timings and same clock rate.

If speed is not the same, the lower speed of the two modules will be used. Likewise, the higher latency of the two modules will be used.
