Thanks for the quick reply, any chance you got a Canadian link? Or would this work:

I typed in the specs mentioned in the title of that ram and came up with that.
 
One thing to keep in mind is that mixing RAM kits, even form the same model number, is never guaranteed to work. RAM is one of the most finicky components in a computer and will occasionally just not work for no obvious reason.

Yes, in theory, the suggested module should work. It probably will. Just keep in mind that it might not, even if it should based on specs. RAM is sold in kits that are guaranteed to work because they are tested. This isn't even something like DOA; two good modules can refuse to work together.
