The difference between dual-channel (matched sticks) or single channel unmatched or single stick will not be noticed. See:

As I said if you can't afford 2x8 replace one 2 with an 8

From your link:

These rules make sense, especially to those of us who've been building systems for a decade or more: Mixing kits was a surefire way to encounter stability or compatibility issues in the past (and is still questionable - I don't recommend it)

[Bold emphasis added]

I'm not talking about dual-channel (two sticks) vs. single channel (one stick). I'm talking about mixing kits, which is what you're recommending (one of the old sticks, one of the new sticks).

You can mix sticks. You just do not get dual channel.

This place even sells such unmatched memory
