Hi,
This week I will be upgrading my computer's RAM from a single 2GB stick to 4GB (add another 2GB stick). My motherboard is an MSI-760GM P23-FX. I am looking at these RAM modules on amazon.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-CT25664BA160B-PC3-12800-Unbuffered-Memory/dp/B006YG88QC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440690951&sr=8-1&keywords=2gb+ram

and this one

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-2GB-DDR3-DIMM-Memory/dp/B00CYSXEHW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440691068&sr=8-1&keywords=2gb+dimm+ram

Please advise. Many thanks,
AKNerd

He makes a solid point

The first one CT25664BA160BJ is rated at 1.5 V
The latter is CT25664BA160B and is rated at 1.35 V

Do not mix and match, you motherboard may or may not know how to handle them together.

I am quite confused what you are saying. I currently have 2GB of DDR3 DIMM Crucial RAM. I have an MSI 760-GM P23 FX Motherboard. I want to add another stick of 2GB RAM. I do not want to buy bith - I just want to know which one will be compatible with my system. I don't know what you mean by "mixing and matching".

I was under the assumption you wanted both.
Find the model of the current RAM that you have and try and buy another set of the same.
If you cannot find an exact match, try and find one with the same clock speed and voltage.
