If I already have one DDR3-1333 ram does that mean I need to buy DDR3-1066 ? Or can I buy the same one ?

Matching pairs are the best.

 

Buy the same speed and the same chip count.

 

If there is 4 chips per side buy another with 4 chips per side.

 

If there is 8 chips per side buy another with 8 chips per side.
