I found this one. http://www.chiefvalue.com/app/productdetails.asp?submit=&item=20-141-174&ATT=Memory%20System%20Memory Is it the same thing? I think it is but i just want to make sure. I found it for much cheaper than the one i found at NewEgg.com.

This may work, the thing I would consider is if the RAM has been certified with you're motherboard. I have built many computers, and have tried different ram, sometimes with luck and sometimes it would crash. This applies to upgrades too, I now try to use matched RAM type, or at least some that is certified. I would look at some Kingston RAM, or at some that is rated compatable
