Is it ok to mix RAM brands?

I have 4 GB of RAM total.
But only 2 GB installed because i have Corsair Dominator 1GBx2 and i had before 2GB Pq1 800U
i have 2 RAM slots on motherboard,so i can install max 4GB of RAMS
I was thinking of mixing 1 Corsair Dominator 1GB with Pq1 2GB so that i have 3GB of ram instead 2GB?
Both are DDR2 Ram,Corsair is 800Mhz.
I don't know what mhz pq1 have?
but it is pq1 800U?
Maybe 800U means 800mhz?
I was wondering is it ok to mix Corsair and Pq1 RaM? Corsair has HEAT XCHANGER and this one does not.
Could i mess my pc,hurt it or something by testing it?
I would appriciate some advice.
