They might or might not play together, any time you mix DRAM from different packages, even the exact same model it can be problematic, sticks in a given package are tested to play together, tolerances are so tight, you can't just grab 2,4,8 sticks off an assembly line and say, yes these will all work together....also for those sticks 1600 and higher, the XMP programming is by the packaged set, a 2 sticks set may reuire a advanced timing of the tRFC at 208 and a 4 stick set may need 278

you can use any 2 ram sticks together, but it really helps that they are the same speed and the same amount of gigs. you should have no problem with this, however what is the cas latency of the 2? you may want to raise/lower one to match the other if they dont already.
