Your motherboard accepts up to 8GB. 

 

If you want the upgrade to work properly the first time, only install memory in pairs of modules that have the exact specifications. Otherwise, it will be a frustrating hit or miss proposition and not the pleaseant upgrade that you expect.

 

Here is what Crucial memory has to offer as 100% guaranteed compatible memory upgrades.
