I have AMD fx 6300 with ASUS M5a97 Le r2.0 MOBO and a GT760 Graphics card. I have kingston kvr16n11s8/4, 4 GB ram and i want to upgrade to 8 GB. I want to know if I can dual channel my memory with an exact same new stick?
Or i need to but both new sticks (2x4). Also I need to know that is the ram that i am currently having good as i had bought this 4 years ago and i am currently experiencing my pc to freeze occasionally, I mean is it too old?

Thanks

It's really best to buy a new matching pair for dual channel memory. If you just buy the same kind as now you can run into differences in the memory that will cause it to perform poorly.
