Mixing RAM is not a bad thing, but make certain your CAS latencies match e.g CL 2.5 or CL 3.
The thing with mixing RAM is that you might not even be mixing. There are actually only a few RAM manufacturers: Micron, Samsung, Infineon, and Hynix. The rest are RAM assemblers e.g. Corsair DIMMs use Samsung chips as do some types of Kingston DIMMs, but Kingston also uses Micron chips in some of its memory, as used in Crucial DIMMs.
