Use the exact same make and model you currently use. That is the best way to make sure there aren't any conflicts and all work at their factory speeds. Mixing RAM can mean they all work at full speed, all work at a lower common speed or worse CAS latency or don't work at all. Even using the same RAM can have problems. As it is from Crucial, a first party manufacturer, the odds are minimal. Most problems occur when mixing RAM or using a third party manufacturer.
