    Hello, recently my computer stopped starting up correctly and the problem ended up being a bad stick of RAM. After removing the bad RAM and my computer acting normal again I've decided I want to upgrade the RAM. Because I could barely find and remove the RAM i choose to come here and ask if this RAM would be compatable with my machine. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231147 Also, as of right now I have one 2gb stick of RAM in slot A and nothing in slot B. being that the stick of RAM in my machine right now is different than that which I'm buying makes me worried. Will they work with eachother or should I just buy 2 of the same sticks.

    Thanks in advance.
