Solution
As long as it runs, it makes no difference to performance. Unmatched memory can sometimes give compatibility problems, but most of the time it works just fine.

Install it and see if it runs correctly, that's the only way to know for certain. Put the sticks in the pair of slots indicated for dual mode in your motherboard manual, if it boots up and runs and your memory shows that it's running in dual mode, no need to replace the nameless stick.
