@Sna52ke38bnw , welcome back to the forum.
I suggest that you use CPU-Z to determine the manufacturer and timings of the current memory. This information can be found in the tab titled "SPD". It is always best if you can match the memory exactly. Different brands of memory don't always work well together. If you can't match the memory exactly, I suggest choosing a manufacturer and contacting their Tech Support for help with making certain that their memory will be compatible with the existing memory.
Here is the memory that is recommended for your computer by Crucial Memory. Also, you may want to consider looking at the SSD's that they recommend. A SSD boot drive will give you the least expensive boost in performance. I will never have another computer without a SSD boot drive.

I believe that it should be fine since it was recommended on Crucial's website. Crucial is the retail division of Micron. So, they are the same memory technically. You could contact their Tech Support to make certain. They have always been very helpful when I call.
