I already have 2 GB of DDR2 RAM @ 800 Mhz with a latency of 5-5-5-18. I was planning on buying 2 more GB of DDR2 RAM @ 800 Mhz with a latency of 4-4-4-12. Would I have a problem running these two different brands of RAM together?

I've never had any trouble mixing brands. Just make sure they are the same type. It sounds like you need PC2-6400 low density ram. As long as those parameters match it should work. --Sarah Jane Smith
