300. Is in attendance any benefit using 5300. Can the two be mixedwith 1 processor getting 42 and other 53?

5300 is faster and will run better then 4200 given matching amount of ram see for gig...



Yes you can use both...but you don't want to! b/c at best adjectives of the ram will run at the lowest speed of the lowest stick you hold i.e. the 4200...there is a really fitting chance that it will be buggy and pass you problems...worst case it will not work at adjectives...



ideally you only want to use duplicate speed ram for adjectives dimm slots...
There's no benefit to that PC using 5300 memory... it will run at 4200 speed. The benefits to you are:

It *may* be cheaper

It will work in a newer PC... one that wishes 5300 RAM if you scrap the gateway
The RAM will solely run at the fastest speed your motherboard can support, so there's no benefit from plugging in faster RAM. If you hold two RAM sticks running at two different speeds, the slower one will govern how fast things run, but it will work.



Matching the speeds would be better, sooner. Probably what's happening is that Crucial doesn't own the slower RAM (that's already in your computer) so the system scanner is recommend the faster one as being compatible next to your system. It will work, so I would take the scanner's proposal. Good luck!
