    hi it will still work providing it's the correct ddr e.g. 1, 2 or 3 also aslong as the voltages arn't within a big range of each other this can cause stability issues or risk of damaging the modules. but if there are very smiliar in voltage or the same, the memory controller will just clock the frequency of all modules to the lowest frequency module you have installed. so in your case all modules will run at 1333mhz (pc3-10600)
