Hi:

 

That is the one that the report lists as compatible so if you don't have to pay too much to have it shipped to Georgia, that should work just fine.

 

You can have a 4 + an 8 GB memory module but the memory will only run in the lower performing single channel mode.

 

In order for the memory to run in the higher performing dual channel mode, you need to install the memory in matching capacities (2 x 4 GB, 2 x 8 GB).

 

But if you plan on maxing out the memory one day to 16 GB, get the 8 GB chip now.
