Will DDR-SDRAM (the same speed; example PC-3200/DDR400) but from different manufacturers work together, or is there a slight chance of incompatibility? If it does, then you have to buy all your memory from a single manufacturer? :P

There is always a chance for compatibility issues when dealing with different manufacturers.

I have done this plenty of times. As long as they're the same type of memory you should be fine. But as Grinch said, there's always a chance for incompatability between manufacturers.
