It is highly recommended stickign with the same RAM manufacturer and model - mainly because of the differences in RAM timings and speeds. Your new RAM should be able to run at the speed of your old RAM, and vice versa. If you have a know-how on how to modify RAM timings in BIOS, create uniform RAM speed and get successful bootup, I'm sure it would work... I'll let others also have their say...
