Anthony,
I'm assuming the computer in question is still running. If so check the Link below
for definitive info on your System RAM, and how it is best configured. Run the System

Everything you need to know is available on Crucial website. Good idea to print out
results to save configuration and part Numbers. You can use PN to crossreference
other Brands of Memory.
