@RLM-JR9, welcome to the forum.

 

Here is the memory that has been fully tested to assure that it will work with the motherboard:

 

Dual channel memory architecture
Four DDR3 DIMMs (240-pin) sockets
PC3-8500 (DDR3-1066)
PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333)
Non-ECC memory only, unbuffered
Supports 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB DDR3 DIMMs
Supports up to 16 GB on 64-bit systems
Supports up to 4 GB on 32-bit PCs
*32-bit PCs cannot address a full 4.0 GB of memory.

 

The main thing to note is, the motherboard supports Dual channel memory architecture.  This means that you will get better performance by installing memory modules in pairs.  I believe the memory that you mentioned should work.  However, I suggest contacting Kingston's Tech Support to make certain.  Adding new technology to an older computer can cause problems that are unforeseen.

 

Here is the memory that is recommended by Crucial Memory.  They make very good memory for OEM computers.  If there app recommends it, it is guaranteed to work or it will be replaced at no additional cost to you.  You should read all of the information on the pages.

 

Another thing to consider is buying a SSD.  They will improve system performance beyond belief.  I will never have a computer without a SSD boot drive.

Old Geekster, thanks for the advice.  It's been awhile since I've done any upgrading and I just wanted to double check before I buy.  Again thanks.

You are very welcome, @RLM-JR9.  I understand fully your concerns about buying the correct components.  The technology is changing so quickly that it is almost impossible to know what will work.
