HI Lil,

I think I am finally getting it in my thick skull now...ha!  took awhile 
but.....same brand, same speed, same amt of memory... but is later you buy 
another pair just make sure it is in fact a pair not a single stick and they 
are matched with each other as well as I suppose being the same speed as the 
previous pair.
