Mixing RAM?

[MarkP]

I recently upgraded the RAM in my Crawler E10. So now I have this spare stick that I thought I could put into my P15607. 
However, the RAM in there at the moment is labeled:

8GB 1rx8 pc4-2666v-sa1 

The spare stick is 8GB 1rx8 pc4-3200aa-sa2. 

Can I install both of them or should I stay with just one, and if so, which is the better one?

Thanks in advance for your wisdom.

I would just test it, and put it in. Then compare with CPU-Z .

If the MHZ rate decreases, compared to the actual status with the original RAM-module only, it would depend on your  programs requirements. Do they need more volatile memory, or are 8 GB good enough?

hello @MarkP and welcome

Your faster RAM (3200MHz) is of little use to you, since according to the service manual only 2666MHz is supported.

Da unterliegst du einem Irrtum ( Google Übersetzungsfehler?)

Of course it should function in the P15607!

Das Modul mit der 3200 MHz Spezifikation, das nach Upgrade des Crawler E10 RAM übrig  blieb, wegen der MHzSpecicht im P15607 funktionieren solle ist nicht schlüssig. Das Modul kommt ja aus aus demCrawler E10 mit einem Clevo Board mit den SPECS für RAM auch nur bis zu 2666MHz..

Dort funktionierte das übrig gebliebene Modul mit 3200 MHz, das dort auch auf einem  CLV Board mit Unterstützung nur bis 2666 MHz  funktionierte.

"The spare stick is 8GB 1rx8 pc4-3200aa-sa2. " ist das übrig gebliebene Modul aus dem Crawler E10.

Die richtige Frage, die sich stellt ist, ob beide RAM, das eine Modul mit den Specs bis zu 2666MHz und das andere mit den Specs 3200 MHz sich zusammen vertragen.  

Deswegen  schrieb ich er solle mit CPU-Z die Geschwindigkeit vergleichen, nicht dass dann beide im Mixbetrieb auf 2400 MHz oder niedriger zurückfallen.

@MarkP 

Just test it, it could or rather should work.

Thanks @Fishtown @and @daddle @for the responses. 
@Fishtown , I didn’t have access to those details so that’s super helpful to know. Thanks for the info I’ll leave the original RAM in the second laptop as is for now…
If I can take liberties though … which would you say is better: 1x 8GB @ 3200MHz or 2x16BG @2667MHz

 Off course 2x 16 GB would be better than 8 GB RAM with 3200MHz. Your motherboard anyway only supports up to 2666 MHz.

But I am sorry, you didn't understand fully what I wrote  in my last post. It was partially in German for Fishtown.  

Your spare ram module with 3200 MHz specs functioned in the Crawler E10, which itself  only supports RAM up to 2666MHz!  The motherbooard in the  P15607 also supports  2666MHz like the  board  in the crawler.

 So I definitely would try if the spare module functions  in the P15607.
