but if he combine the 2 GB of RAM at different frequencyes and the computer will "take" the smaller frequency that means it wont have the same performance like 2 GB of RAM at the same frequence?for example i have a 1GB one at 400 Hz and a 256 one at 266 HZ...should I use them both?

Not for a measly extra 256Mb. Your computer may actually seem slower if you use the 256Mb.
