Ram Mix and Match

Hey, I just want to know if there are problems using ram with different timings, latency, etc. I have an Asus A8n5x with 1 gb of Crucial Ram with timing 2-2-2-6 and cas latency 2, and i want to get another gig of this. It has timing 2-3-2-5. Are there any issues? Can I change the timings on either ram modules? Thanks in advance.

with ram like that I would clear the cmos and pop the sticks in a try it... it may auto default to lower timings than either one of those sticks and may work....it also may not...
