I already have 4gb ram installed on my pc, I now need to install additional 4 gb ram but I dont know which ram to choose so that it is compatible to my currently installed RAM.

Edit: After checking my motherboard documentation it only supports maximum of 8gb memory.

These are my RAM specs

4 GB DDR3, Speed "1333 MHz DIMM"

MR Memory

CPU-Z1

CPU-Z2

and this is my motherboard support configuration

If you really want to add a second stick would i probably look at something like these,

Maybe another tool that will give more info about what ram you use so you can find something as close as,

download hwinfo32,
install and open it=click run,
close the top window which is the system summary,
at the left top click "save report",
at the bottom of the next window check "short text report",
after that you'll see what's in the pc,
Might also just click "memory" at the main window,see what info that gives for good info about the ram too.
