You could. Just that all the sticks in conjunction will run at the lowest speed out of the two.

It means no blue screen, no system failure nothing ? Just i will get 4 GB DDR2 RAM running at 667 MHZ with 5 5 5 15 timing. IS it correct ?

better get 2x2 corsair dual channel memory that will be much faster
or get another 1gb exactly same kingston ram to set up dual channel

Will it perform in real world ? I mean most of the faster RAMs perform FASTER when tested by various benchmarking software, the performance difference is too low to be observable in real world ( I am not talking about softwares which really require big GB'S )
I want to use my computer entirely for gaming and other basic uses like browsing, music, watching movies. No video editing and no other heavy softwares.
