Is it possible to stick two types of RAM in my mobo?

Like for e.g i have this 2 x 2GB DDR3 OCZ. Can i stick like 3 x 2GB DDR3 Corsair alongside the OCZs?

I think they are dual channel. Can i use some other triple channel mem along side the dual channels?

yup would work, but as there not all factory matched, the speeds withh be not great or terrible!

Well generally mobo's are quite fussy when it comes to mixing memory, but what the heck give it a try.

Do they have identical memory timings, voltages, and speeds, etc?

they are prolly different

you can only use two sticks of the triple channel (which will then make this a dual channel) along with your original two sticks.

As for mixing and matching - theoretically yes, but as mentioned before, motherboards can be picky. Basically try it and see what happens...
