The PC-6600 is faster. Using both will just slow it down to the speed of the slowest stick.
Really, you won't notice the difference between each other, so I'd say just use them both if your board supports it.
If you have two slots, then use the faster memory, if you have four, use both. You'd probably be happier with more ram than 'faster' ram.

Agree with awesome8wc3
If your MB support 4 slots you can use them all but make sure you use the slightly Slower Ram in the primary slots so the slightly faster ram down clocks as over clocking ram causes instability
As for speed you wont notice any difference, but in performance less HDD caching when running multiple programs with 4Gig over 2Gig you will.
As for the R1x8 and R2x8 its (usually displayed 2Rx8) simply the memory chips on the Stick 1 row of 8 memory modules indicating single sided or 2 sides of 8 being double sided (does vary per brand)
