A RAM mismatch is OK as long as the slowest RAM is at or faster than the MOBO/CPU requirements. However, you cannot use dual channel if the size and speed are not identically matched. The system will slow down to the slowesr RAM speed. Your symptom description could be many other things, RAM speed would be very, very low on the list. Other more common things would be: 1)Slow video card 2)Other tasks chewing up CPU/Video cycles 3)Underpowered CPU 4)Poor performing internet connection
