50/50 chance they will work. Mixing brands of memory, even with same spec's, is a hit or miss. Not just Dell's, I have a home built desktop (for my recording studio) using an ASUS motherboard. I have 16GB of Corsair memory and 16GB of GSkill memory (same specs). Either the Corsair or GSkill will work OK but with both installed it will not boot.
Give it a try and if works you lucked out. If not, it will require all the same brand/type memory.
BTW, the Workstation section of the forum is the correct forum section for Precisions.
Well, they will work or not. If not they won't mess up your PC, though they may cause a crash. Just try them, or else go buy four perfectly-matched modules, or buy two identical 8G Dell-branded ones
