Is it possible to mix a 1.8V 2x1GB DDR2 kit with a 2.0V 2x1GB DDR2 kit using the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L motherboard?

that depends on the kits.
1. they need to be compatible with that board
2. The 1.8 volt needs to be able to overvolt to 2.0 safely or the 2.0 one needs to have a lower performance profile at 1.8v (it usually does) where it goes slightly slower but at an officially supported voltage (1.8 is the proper ddr2 voltage, anything over it is factory over volting)

I would guess it would have a high chance of success.
