    Hello NBR!
    So its been about a year since i got my 8660 and i've been loving it from day one, but i think its finally time for a ram upgrade. I bought the notebook with 1 stick of 2gb ddr3 memory, and I THINK its 200 pin and 1066mhz.
    anyway, i'd like to upgrade to a total of 4 gb of memory, and i'm looking for a second 2gb ram stick. for optimal performance, do i need to pair up the old ram with an identical stick (same brand) or are only the specs important?
    I've found these 2 and i just want to make sure they will work before i order them, so if anyone would take a look, i'd appreciate it!

    or

    edit: oh and is there anything i should know about latency timings? should both sticks have the same? if so, how do i find out what the timings are for the stick that came with my computer?

    So the memory that came with my notebook was 204 pin, not 200?
