Currently running 2 (dual channeled) kingston ddr2 667 pc-5300 1GB (2GB in total) RAM

Now I have 2 more slots on my motherboard for ram, so i'm considering upgrading my RAM for my l4d2.

Now if I want to buy a third stick of ram (say 1GB) I understand that it's recommended to run the same speed ( pc-5300 ddr2 667 ) but what if the brand is different, such as patriot or PNY?

What's your take/insight on running different branded RAM?
