Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Eli, you will need to check the speed of your 4gb stick! If they are the same, you should be able to use them together. In some set ups with more than one channel you won't be able to combine series of different sized modules. If you only have 2 slots, you must match the speed (12800) etc., and should be okay.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, they do not have to be the same, and yes, you can combine different rated sticks. My computer had one 8 gb and one 2 gb stick. I put in two 8 gb sticks. Usually the specifications for your computer will tell the maximum gb that it can handle.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You do not need to have the same size memory sticks in both slots, a 4 GB stick and a 8 GB stick will work great with each other.
