The best thing to do is purchase guaranteed compatible memory modules in a pair.

Upgrading by adding a single module can unexpected results.

It can waste your valuable time and add frustration.

 

Here is a online manufacturer/vendor source

As of July 6, 2022 I personally installed 2 RAM modules in 2 separate computers. Both computers had the same specifications. I increased the RAM from 4GB to 16GB. I have seen significant changes in performance, efficiency, and speed. I have also seen a 40% decrease in both computers for Memory Usage.
