RAM's always a bit of a gamble, which is why you see them sold in 2x4 or 2x8 "kits." Those pairs are tested together and even RAM of the same model can occasionally not get along. Match the RAM as closely as you can to increase your chances that your new stick gets along with your old stick as there's no guarantee.
