But it would work? I thought both RAM chips had to be the same value.

They do not have to be the same unless you want to run dual channel.
How many RAM slots does he have open?

You can mix and match speeds, but you have to run them at the speed of the lowest one.

On some newer machines, mismatched ram sticks (say one’s a 2400 speed, the other 3200) will make the machine run at the speed of the slowest RAM stick. IIRC.

Nope, just buy the recommended RAM for the computer. When you boot up after, it will recognise both and tell you, you have around 1.5G.
