The major difference is that one set is ECC and the other is non-ECC. The difference is:
"ECC RAM (error correcting code) is normally used on a server motherboard for more reliability and costs more, the extra 8 Bits is used to correct the data passing through. Your motherboard probably cannot use ECC RAM and if it able to use ECC RAM it cannot be combined with NON ECC RAM. ECC is parity RAM, Non-ECC RAM is Non-parity RAM. Most types of RAM come in either NON ECC or ECC."

They look the same but they may have a small difference between them that I can't see.
