I am looking to buy a faster RAM. Just unsure of what my computer will take. I have a 8860 A (SMVB) motherboard and currently have 8 gb of RAM (4gb x 2). What type of RAM unit can I buy? How do I figure out what kind I can buy?

You can check what is it running now and buy same specs with larger capacity. The following tool can help.

Note: Machine may accept faster RAM but it won't run higher speed, only 2933MHz
