Ill be the first to admit that I'm not all that good with PC's when it comes to hardware, and find it somewhat confusing. I am wanting to upgrade and get some more RAM to play Lord of the Rings Online a little smoother. My PC has 4 slots and I am using two right now with 512MB sticks. This is the description i have of my RAM from Alienware.
x2
Capacity: 512MB
Bank Label: CHANNEL A DIMM0
Data Width: 64Bits
Speed: 533MHz
Socket Designation: J5G2
Verified Hardware Device against Order: MEM-DDR2512PC4200SR2
Verify Correct Memory Type
Verify Correct Memory Size
Now I want to fill the other two slots both with 1GB sticks. I was told that I need to match my other RAM exactly by the guy at Best Buy. Does he mean only in spec like speed, or can I only put two 512mb sticks in the two slots. Also does my new RAM I buy have to be 4200 as well, because I really can't find much along those lines. Everything at Best Buy was either 3700 and 5300 if I remember those numbers correcty.
A buddy of mine recommended Patriot RAM, and was looking at this:

but I'm not sure if it will work since my other RAM is 4200 and this is not. Thanks in advance for any advice.
