Kingston Memory Numbers

[anken]

I have one module of Kingston:
KVR 400X64 C25 /512 in our computer.

Recently I ordered another stick of the same memory from Kingston but they sent:
KVR400 X64 C3/ 512

I don't know what the C3 or C25 stands for and I'm wondering if I could use the second stick without diminishing the performance of the first stick of ram.

I appreciate any advice you can give me.

There isn't a significant difference between the two, would you be able to return that stick and buy exact same one?
The first stick you bought looks to be better and have a faster set of timings on it, you should be ok. However if you have the option, it would be best to use tthe same sticks.
I would suggest going ahead with the extra $15 dollars for the better stick.
Kingston value ram is good stuff and both should run ok together, however they still sell both sticks so it would be easy enough to get the other stick instead if you can still return it.

Thanks for your thoughts.
I have emailed Kingston to request an exchange.
Sofar no answer from them but I will make sure to get the better one even if I have to pay those extra $15.-.
