Larger RAM is bigger, disregard the memory clock speed. It doesn't matter if you install different brands of ram in your slot.

it does matter because then dual channel mode can cause compatibility issues, or more likely - drop both modules to slowest timings/frequency, and by that wasting some of the available performance.
But certainly, biggest module is better than fastest performing one.
and Jalicno is right - the performance boost isn't huge, but it can bottleneck some workloads.
Terrorfist:
I'm using Samsung and Hynix modules, both run at 800mhz in dual channel mode :S
[MAF]Karlis:
but with the slowest timings.
