    Yes, but you'll be running the lot at 1333 tops. Last time i checked there was little to no price difference so just get more 1600

    both sets of RAM will slow down to the speed of ur slowest RAM.

    hardly any performance difference between 1333 and 1600 tho :)!
    i'd personally get the cheapest 1333 if the price difference is more than £5 lol :p!
