no problem provided your mobo has 4 slots. but you can get g.skill, adata from here too. ask for a mushkin or patriot if you want from outside

Yep, different RAM modules "can" cause trouble sometimes. Random BSODs etc.

I am the master of my Fate.
u can use both brands as far as the frequency/clock timings of RAM modules r same.

but ishu and asingh isnt it that all others will get clocked down to speed and settings of lowest ram. correct me if i wrong.

He is getting both rated at 800Mhz speed. So there would not be lowest gets dominance.
Though if I am not incorrect the total population of the DIMMS would be:
DIMM 0: 2GB Kingston
DIMM 1: 2GB Kingston
DIMM 2: 2GB Nanya
DIMM 3: 4GB New Company
This way you will loose the dual channel architecture cause all DIMMs are not of equal density.

Equal density meaning that all should be 2GB or 2*2GB & 2*4GB???

@mailme.manju, yes. the ram sticks should be in even number & should be of equal capacity irrespective of clockspeed.
He won't loose dual channel even if he don't has same density ram sticks .
Well, it depends on chipset.
OPs mobo has G43 chipset which supports Flex Memory Technology so he can use memory modules with different size/capacity and still remain in dual channel mode.

I think he should bring Crucial Ballistix

^^ No both channel will run in Dual Channel Mode.
OPS mobo has 2 blue Ram slot ( Channel A ) and 2 Black Slot ( Channel B )
For for eg. If he populates Channel A ( two Blue slots ) with 2X Kingston 2GB modules he would get dual channel in Channel A
Now if OP populates Channel B ( two black slots ) with one Nanya 2GB module and another 4GB module he will still get dual channel mode in channel B but the mobo will use only 4 [ 2+ (4-2 ) ] GB ram as dual channel instead of consuming all 6 GB present in channel B.
