It's entirely a crapshoot when 'adding' DRAM, there are no guarantees they will play even with another stick of the same exact model. DRAM in a package were tested to ensure they will play nice at spec, you could pull sticks right off the assembly line and they might play, might not which is why the manufacturers test them. Best to get a package of the full amount you want/need. If you try mixing, and encounter problems, give a shout, can often get them to play with voltage/timing adjustments, but again, no guarantees

You should buy a stick of same RAM.When i say the same RAM i mean the same exact RAM not just some ADATA RAM which is 4gb. If you get a stick from another manufacuer it probably wont work.

I bought two 4GB Corsair Vengeance rams and I have no issues (separate), obviously because I don't play with " voltage/timing adjustments ". If you are sure there were no changes made to the following, just get the EXACT same ram like the guy said.
