i have 1600MHz memory, i want to add a 1866MHz stick. will anything bad happen if i mix 1866MHz ram and 1600MHz ram?

It'll just run at the lowest clock speed.

ok so theres no sense in getting 1866MHz ram if it will run at 1600MHz ram if i mix it? okay

Of course it's non sense. Why would you waste your money? There's not a big difference between 1600 and 1866mhz RAM. Get a 1600MHZ RAM instead.
