dont waste the money, 4gigs is enough, you wont make it run any faster. even so, i think ALL ram modules used have to be identicle

That is not an answer to my question... Please can someone else answer this question because in this case the money has already been wasted, I want to know if its safe to throw this in my comp. Additionally the F2-6400 one says 1.8v-1.9v on it and the F2-8500 says 2.0v-2.1v. is that going be a problem?

It will work at 800 Mhz and 5-5-5-15 timings. The F2-8500 will work at 800 Mhz and 1.9V (you can use CPU-Z to check the timings and required voltage at JEDEC 400 Mhz).
