Can I use 8GB and 16gb RAM together?
Yes, you can mix different size ram together. You’ll want to try to match the CAS latency, timings, and speed though!
Can I mix 4GB and 16gb RAM?

In general, we recommend at least 4GB of RAM and think that most users will do well with 8GB. Choose 16GB or more if you’re a power user, if you run today’s most demanding games and applications, or if you simply want to make sure you’re covered for any future needs.
How should different sized RAM be added to iMacs?
All the newest iMacs that have empty slots put the memory in pairs matching left / right so as long as you added your pair left / right but either deeper or shallower from the front glass, you should be set for optimal speeds. I’ve tried installing it the other way and couldn’t measure any differences in speed with several benchmarks.
Is it OK to install new Ram in a MacBook Pro?
You can consult Apple’s support documentation to be sure, but as long as your top two slots are filled using the original factory RAM and you installed the new RAM into the bottom slots (and you’re using the right kind of RAM, of course) then your configuration should be OK.
Why is my iMac not compatible with other Ram?
Just a thought… but the one factor that no one seems to be considering is the fact that the Apple RAM is the only RAM that is creating havoc when mixed with other non-factory installed Apple RAM. It could be that there is a very slight difference in their RAM that isn’t found in the other RAM which is making it incompatible.
Can you have different memory in two memory slots?
