    If you mean by "safe", is it 100% certain to work OK, the answer is "no".

    Your system could be unstable if you mix different brands and size of rams.It's advisable to put identical rams.If your board supports dual channel,then you definitely have to put the same rams in pairs to enable this dual channel feature.
