So i'm deciding to pimp up my pc by adding more ram to my other channel. (I have dual channels and I'm only using one up) But i'm not into this hard drive stuff so what are the dos and don'ts of finding compatible ram for my computer?
 
Solution
1 of 2 options:

Least headache would be to just get a 2 stick kit of whatever overall ram size you want that'll run in dual channel.

The other option is to buy the other stick to match whatever specs that your current one has. Preferably an identical stick of the same model and what not. This only gives your system 2 sticks of ram, it doesn't mean it'll run in dual channel.
