well the first lot is 2GB x 3 sticks, the second lot is only 2 sticks. What motherboad do you have is it triple channel socket 1366 by any chance?
If you are running pretty much any other platform that uses dual channel memory then I would swap it, There is more of the Kingston stuff and I think it is probably better quality than the Corsair stuff as I remember seeing good results on that hyperX

well i would probably just stick with what you have then as you only have two sticks of the new stuff and it wouldn't run in triple channel. You will probably get a much better price for the new RAM anyway
