Not sure what ram to go for help please (Newb :(... )

Hey all, I was wondering if I could pick someone brains on one of my old rigs,

What's happened is that one of my Memory sticks (ram) died and I'm looking to replace it with something new but not to expensive around £30-40 tops -
but im not quite sure what I can go for and what I am allowed in my system.

Below is what I have and i'm just wondering if someone could help me out on what would be the best sticks of ram to get at the moment which would increase my
system mainly for gaming.

The main sites I usually purchase from is Ebuyer / Aria etc...

Many many thanks in advance!

Crucial Ballistix Sport 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800MHz CL5

nevermind think I can answer my own question

Dual channel memory architecture
4 x 240-pin DIMM sockets support up to 8GB DDR2 800/667/533
non-ECC/ Unbuffered memory

Guess that means it should be fine xD

I also have a Z68 in my main rig with 8gb at the moment, it supports up to 32gb.
and I currently have munshkin blackline 8gb in it. would it be best to go for the same kit again or could i possibly get better since it's been about 8 months now since I purchased that.

Asus P8Z68-V PRO Z68 Socket 1155 8 Channel HD Audio ATX Motherboard

8GB Mushkin Blackline #996995 (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz 9-9-9-24

Yeah I do 3D modelling and animation, so do quite a lot of rendering so guess it will help quite a bit. Is why I got the Z68 for the Video cache or something... dunno xD. Just got told it's good for 3D

Cool thanks very much for the info mate.

been big help
