This is what cpu-z says about my current 4GB RAM

http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd379/coolmj1120/Untitled-7.png

Same identical stick in slot 3

It says PC3-10700 but I've heard it would work with PC3-10600

I want to upgrade to 8GB and my mobo is a LGA775 (Don't know the model but it has a G43 chipset)
Those 2 sticks are in Dual channel (slots 1 & 3)

I want to buy two of these and put them in slots 2 & 4 for dual channel

Please I'm a nub in PC upgrading and if it won't work can you link me to one that will?

RAM is so cheap nowadays and less than 4 months ago they were priced at $30/each lol.. so I might as will upgrade since I won't be getting a new PC in 4 years anyways

I have win7 x64 so don't worry about that :P

Specs:

Pentium Dual Core E5700 @3.00 GHz
4GB DDR3 RAM
nVIDIA GT 430
Win7 x64

Yes, it is compatible = will work, the mobo will take care of the numbers.

Samsung often doesn't play well with others, so IMO either get more M378B5673FH0-CH9 http://www.aztekcomputers.com/M378 [...] 95980.html

Otherwise, a nice fully matched set of DDR3-1333 4x2GB set of $49.99 G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (4 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) F3-10666CL9Q-8GBXL - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820231491
