Will these two very similar sticks of RAM work together?

So I got one of these two sticks of RAM, but my dad went and threw the packaging away, so I don't remember which. I'm looking to get another stick, and was wondering if I'd have any issues running these two different sticks side by side, since they're so similar. Will this cause issues?

They are the same memory aren't they?

They surly will run.
They are not a matched set, so there is a very slight possibility that they will run in single channel instead of dual

Only a 10% loss

Maybe! - There's no guarantee, but with these chances are good that even if they won't just plug in and play together a slight addition to DRAM voltage will have them playing nice

It just occurred to me that I could check the sticker on the actual stick of RAM, lol.

It's the 10600, not 10666. Well, thanks!

Likely no problem.

But... ram vendors do not guarantee proper operation of ram not in the same kit.
