For example one stick's latency is 3-3-3-8, and the other stick's latency is 2-3-3-6.

That should work fine, of course getting two with the better latency will work better, but it will work. The computer may even slow down the faster one to work at the same rate as the slower one. Anyway brand doesn't matter, neither does voltage.

Suggest you go to a memory company's web site and use their memory configurator. Plug in your specific computer info and they'll tell you exactly what's required. Some computers need both sticks to be the same, others will allow a mix. Kahlon has a pretty good FAQ section and I believe it's better to be safe than sorry.

the variety should not matter, yet determine they are an analogous velocity, or you may run into some weird and wonderful problems. in case your laptop helps it, it could make experience to get 2 x 2GB sticks, 4 GB's of RAM will provide your laptop a important velocity advance.

As long as they fit securly in the slot they should work ok. My computer has 3 different RAM sticks in there right now... It's fine.
